ARCHAEOLOGICAL INSTITUTE OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND.
26. Suffolk Street, Pall Mall, Sept. 23, 1850.
At an ordinary meeting of the Central Committee of the Archæological Institute, the President in the chair, it was unanimously "Resolved—That the Committee, having taken into consideration the Resolution of the British Archæological Association, passed at their congress at Manchester, and also that of their Council of the 4th of September, and communicated by the President of the Association to the President of the Institute, are of opinion that the position and prospects of the Institute are such as to render inexpedient any essential modifications of it's existing rules and managements.
"The Committee disclaim all unfriendly feeling towards the Association: they are of opinion that the field of Archæology is sufficiently wide for the operations of several societies without discord; but if the members of the Archæological Association should be disposed to unite with the Institute, the Central Committee will cordially receive them on the terms announced in their advertisement of September 9th, which was intended to be conciliatory, feeling assured that such a course cannot fail to meet with the entire approbation of the members of the Institute."
