THE CAMDEN SOCIETY,
FOR THE PUBLICATION OF
EARLY HISTORICAL AND LITERARY REMAINS.
* * *
THE CAMDEN SOCIETY is instituted to perpetuate, and render accessible,
whatever is valuable, but at present little known, amongst the materials
for the Civil, Ecclesiastical, or Literary History of the United
Kingdom; and it accomplishes that object by the publication of
Historical Documents, Letters, Ancient Poems, and whatever else lies
within the compass of its designs, in the most convenient form, and at
the least possible expense consistent with the production of useful
volumes.
The Subscription to the Society is 1l. per annum, which becomes due in
advance on the first day of May in every year, and is received by
MESSRS. NICHOLS, 25. PARLIAMENT STREET, or by the several LOCAL
SECRETARIES. Members may compound for their future Annual Subscriptions,
by the payment of 10l. over and above the Subscription for the current
year. The compositions received have been funded in the Three per Cent.
Consols to an amount exceeding 900l. No Books are delivered to a
Member until his Subscription for the current year has been paid. New
Members are admitted at the Meetings of the Council held on the First
Wednesday in every month.
