ANNUAL REPORT, 1895-6, 351 
The Library continues to increase and, as in previous years, the Library. 
Committee are anxious to have brought to their notice the name of 
any book likely to be useful to Members. 
Through the kindness of Major H. C. L. Holden, F.R.S., R.A., the Electric 
Committee have been able to acquire very cheaply an excellent gas- “8% 
engine and dynamo which will save great expenditure in future lantern 
and electrical displays at lectures and will be available for the use of 
Members wishing to make electrical experiments or investigations. 
The question of publishing a book or series of plates illustrating the Illustra. 
dress of all branches of the Regiment from the earliest date down to post, 
the present time has again been before the Committee and they are 
glad to say that there is at last a prospect of obtaining a really valuable 
work. Although there has been a delay of several years since first the 
question was mooted, it now seems as if the result will be much more 
satisfactory than if the scheme had been carried out in the first instance. 
The Committee reported last year that they had received and made 
fair copies of all General Askwith’s notes on Kane’s List; this has xano’s 
enabled them to make an estimate of the cost of reproducing Kane’s Lists. 
List corrected to date and containing the General’s notes; the cost of 
an edition of say 2000 copies will be about £800 and the Committee 
now commend the matter to the officers of the Regiment for their con- 
sideration. It is thought that before expending so large a sum a 
guarantee should be obtained, that a reasonable proportion of it may 
be recouped. The Committee, at the same time, fully recognise the 
value of the work and the importance of its publication, if possible. 
Captain C. Orde Browne has continued his work on the figures of 
men in armour in the Rotunda Museum and when the two he is now Rotunda 
finishing are complete there will be a collection of ten figures illustrating aa 
changes in weapons and armour from 1206 to 1650. These figures 
ranged on each side of the mounted “ Bayard” clothed and armed as 
correctly as Captain Orde Browne’s historical research and artistic 
workmanship can make them, will form a group worthy of the 
Museum. ;
