No candidates shall be present at any meetings of the Society or committees, or admitted at 
the Society’s rooms, after they have delivered im their claims, until such claims are adjudged, 
unless summoned by the committee. 
N. B, The Society farther invite the communications of scientific and practical men upon 
any of the subjects for which premiums are offered, although their experiments inay have 
been conducted upon a smaller scale than the terms of éach require, as they may atford ground 
for more extensive application, and thus materially forward the views of the Society, and con- 
tribute to the advantage of the public. Such communications to be made by letter, addressed 
to the Society, and directed to Mr. Cuarnies Tavuor, the Secretary, at the Society of Arts, 
Adelphi, London. 
The models required by the Soc-ry should be upon the scale of one inch to a foot. The 
Winchester bushel is the measure referred to for gram; and, 2s the acres of different districts 
vary in extent, it is necessary to observe, that the Society mean Statute Acres of five anda half 
yards to the rod or pole, when acies are mentioned in their list cf premiums; and they request 
that all communications to them may be made agreeably thereto. 
The Society desire that the Papers on different subjects seut to them may be full, clear, explicit, 
fit for publication, and rather in the form of Essays than of Letters; and where descriptive Draw- 
ings can be conveniently sent, with the Models and Machines laid before the Society, it is recom- 
mended to be done. 
Presents to the Society of Books for their Library will be thankfully received.

and proprietor. Any remarks on the qualities of the marbles, or on the ime produced from 
them, will be gratefully received and preserved by the Society, as matertals for future inquiries.
