[1] I have heard that some impression has got abroad that in giving this £7,000 stock to the St. George’s Company, I only parted with one year’s income. It was a fairly estimated tenth of my entire property, including Brantwood. The excess of the sum now at the credit of the Trustees, over the amount subscribed, consists in the accumulated interest on this stock. With the sum thus at their disposal, the Trustees are about to purchase another £1,000 of stock, and in the Fors of January will be a more complete statement of what we shall begin the year with, and of some dawning prospect of a beginning also to our operations.

INDEX
TO THE VOLUMES FOR 1873 AND 1874.
(Second Thousand.)
The larger black numerals indicate the number of the letter; the smaller numerals the pages.
Though the kind friends who have drawn up this and the earlier index are not content with their work, I believe it will be found entirely sufficient for its purposes, until the system of the whole is more developed. As soon as it has received anything like conclusive form I will index its subjects, in connection, myself.
