6 REPORT OF THE COUNCIL, 1842.
the existence and objects of the Society tends, not merely to promote its welfare, but also to carry out the purpose for which it was established, by directing the attention of the possessors of MSS. to those collections in which there yet exist, unpublished, inestimable papers which this Society would be ready and willing to make available. @
Messrs. Nichols have continued to the Council the same attentions, and have rendered them the same valuable and gratuitous assistanc® in the general management of the affairs of the Society, which they have given from -its Institution. Nothing can be more honourable to Messrs. Nichols, or more advantageous to the Society; and the Council are assured, that it is only necessary for them to state the fact to the Mem- bers, in order to its being duly appreciated.
The Council have to regret the loss, by death, during the last year, of the Rt. Hon. Tuos. P. Courtenay, who, in addition to valuable services as a Member of the Council, was one of the Trustees of the Society, and gave much attention to its affairs. The Council have filled up the vacancy in the Trusteeship by electing to that office Cuartes Purton Cooper, Esq. LL.D., Q.C., F.R.S., F.S.A.

caster ; and also of the following other Members: Tuomas Barngs, Esq. GeorGE FREDERICK Betz, Esq. F.S.A. Lancaster Herald. Henry Eyton, Esq. The Rev. Taomas Dup.uey Fossroxsg, F.S.A. F. T.

The Council report that the Treasurer, having found that other en- gagements prevented his any longer devoting to the accounts and finan- cial correspondence of the Society the time and attention which, after an experience of three years, he found to be absolutely necessary to be given to them, submitted to the Council the propriety of their accepting his resignation, or of making some other arrangement with respect to the accounts. The Council, regarding the subject as one vitally affecting the welfare of the Society, proceeded immediately to take it into their consi- deration, and are happy to be able to report that they have effected an arrangement by which the accounts are now kept, and the financial correspondence is attended to, by the Secretary, the Treasurer still con- tinuing responsible to the Society. This arrangement will put the Society to a small annual expense, which can very well be afforded, and which the Council are persuaded the Members will think well bestowed, if it has the effect of preserving accuracy in the accounts. The recent arrangements in the Post Office render it easy for country Members to transmit their sub- scriptions by Post Office orders, which course the Council recommend to be adopted, making the Post Office orders payable to the Treasurer.
After the lapse of four years of continuing prosperity the Council hope that the Camden Society may be regarded as having taken a permanent station amongst established publishing associations. Many societies have been founded upon similar principles, and one considerably out-numbers this Society in Members: but there is no one which can produce better evidences of stability and prosperity, or which has greater reason to be satisfied with the estimation in which its works are regarded by the public. Amongst the Candidates for admission recently entered there are many Public Libraries and other bodies, whose desire to participate in
8 REPORT OF THE COUNCIL, 1842.
the advantages of Membership indicates the reputation of the Society, both in this and other countries ; and the prices maintained by our books when copies get abroad into the market, afford encouraging proof of the demand for them on the part of collectors and literary men. In four years the Society has issued eighteen volumes, all of them works excluded from the ordinary mode of publication, and yet worthy of being published, of eminent use to historical inquirers, and likely to retain a place in the permanent literature of the country.
The forthcoming works are fully calculated to maintain, if not to increase, the reputation of the Society, and the Council see no reason to doubt but that the Society may long usefully and prosperously retain its station, and the number of its Members.

10 REPORT OF THE AUDITORS.
The Treasurer has also reported to us that the Secretary and himself have made arrangements by which they hope, during the ensuing year, almost, if not altogether, to get rid of all arrear of outstanding subserip- tions. We trust that the Members will assist them in this very desirable object; and especially that Members resident in the country will transmit their subscriptions at once to the Treasurer by Post Office orders. The adoption of this course has been suggested by several of the Local Secre- taries; and it is obvious that it will greatly lessen the troublesome and not very agreeable duties, which are thrown upon those officers by the pre- sent practice, will lessen the number of mistakes, and will greatly promote the prosperity of the Society.
