in our library. We have a body of young workmen who will more than make good the places of their predecessors.” In accepting the office, 21, October, 1887, our late beloved President Salisbury said: "Having always regarded the growth of the library as of primary importance, I desire to call the attention of the Society to the fact that for a long period one-half, at least, of our yearly accessions, which are very considerable, have been received from other sources than from members of the Society. In return for these gifts the library has offered, and should continue to offer, such facilities for study and investigation as the most liberal policy of management will admit.” Respectfully submitted, EDMUND M.
