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
0_s._ 4_d._, Three per Cent. consols, to £574 13_s._ 8_d._ 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.
James Heywood Markland, Esq. F.R.S. F.S.A. for Bath,
in the place of Rev. William L. Nichols, who has removed.
