REPORT OF THE COUNCIL.
DATED 1st MAY, 1842.
The Council elected on the 3rd May 1841 are pleased to be able to report that the affairs of the Society continue in a condition of unabated prosperity.
The number of 1200 Members, to which the Society is limited, has been maintained; and there continues to be a large number of Candidates for admission upon vacancies.
The investment standing in the names of the Trustees for the Society has been increased, since the last General Meeting, from the sum of £408 0s. 4d., Three per Cent. consols, to £574 13s. 8d. This increase has arisen from the investment of sums received for Compositions; and the Council recommend that whatever sum may now be in hand on that account, should be added to the investment.
The Council have added the following gentlemen to the list of Local Secretaries:—
The Rev. Joseph Bosworth, LL.D. for Nottingham.
Richard Rees, Esq. F.S.A. for Cardiff, in the place of Captain W. H. Smyth, retired.
