PREFACE.

IN

N issuing the 37th Volume of the Transactions I have only to impress on Members and Associates the obligation they are under to endeavour to increase the influence of the Institute and to add to the number of its adherents. The Council has never adopted outside means of popularity by advertising in order to attract the public, being satisfied with dependence on the efforts of its friends, the interest and importance of its objects, and the honour of enrolment in its ranks. Nevertheless, efforts are necessary to bring the work of the Victoria Institute to the notice of those whom it is desirable to attract, and with this object a copy of the "Objects Paper" will be issued to those receiving the new volume of Transactions, with the hope that each Member or Associate will endeavour to bring in at least one adherent during the ensuing year.

The Council would esteem it a favour to receive communications on subjects suitable for discussion and publication, and also to receive the names of persons considered qualified to deal with them

Secretary and Editor.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING.

HELD IN THE HOUSE OF THE SOCIETY OF ARTS,

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7TH, 1905.

THE RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF HALSBURY (PRESIDENT),
IN THE CHAIR.

Letters of regret for inability to be present were read from Bishop Welldon, Mr. David Howard, V.P., the Dean of Canterbury, the Rev. G. W. Whidborne and others.

The Right Hon. The EARL OF HALSBURY, F.R.S. (President), opened the meeting. He regretted that a public duty would prevent him from remaining-it was not a private duty, but a public duty, and as such could not be neglected-and therefore he must vacate the chair for the present.

The SECRETARY.-In the absence of the Lord Chancellor, I propose that General Halliday be requested to take the Chair.

General HALLIDAY.-In the absence of the Lord Chancellor, I will now call upon the Secretary to read the Report.

The Report of the Council was then read by the Secretary, Professor E. HULL, LL.D., F.R.S., as follows:

1. In presenting the THIRTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT, the Council have pleasure in stating that the past session has not been less satisfactory in its proceedings than those which preceded it. As was to be expected, there are losses in membership by death and resignation; but in the latter cases it is seldom that a member resigns without expression of regret that he is obliged to do so owing to circumstances over which he has no control. Occasionally resignations are withdrawn, and members rejoin the Society.
