REPORT OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CAMDEN SOCIETY,

READ AT THE GENERAL MEETING ON THE 2nd MAY, 1891.

The Council of the Camden Society elected on May 2, 1890, regret the loss by death of the following members:—

  • William Aldam, Esq.
  • John Birkbeck, Esq.
  • Sir William R. Drake, Bart.
  • Cyril D. Fortescue, Esq.
  • W. B. Glasse, Esq., Q.C.
  • O. de Beauvoir Priaulx, Esq.
  • James Rae, Esq.
  • J. Anderson Rose, Esq.
  • Henry Ross, Esq.

They also have to report the following accessions to the Society:—

  • The Duke of Northumberland, K.G.
  • John Birkbeck, Esq.
  • J. Hyde, Esq.
  • Leslie Knights Smith, Esq.
  • Sydney University Library.

The books for the year 1890-91 have been—

1. Visitations and Memorials of Southwell Minster. Edited by A. F. Leach, Esq., late Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford; Assistant Charity Commissioner.

2. The Clarke Papers. Vol. I. Edited by C. H. Firth, Esq., M.A.

In the coming year the Council propose to issue—

1. The Nicholas Papers. Vol. II. To be edited by G. F. Warner, Esq., M.A.

2. The Accounts of the Offices of the Monastery of Abingdon. To be edited by R. E. G. Kirk, Esq.

The first of these will throw light on the efforts of the Royalists to regain power during the Commonwealth and Protectorate. The second will add to our knowledge of Medieval economy.

The volume of the Accounts of Henry, Earl of Derby, which was to have been issued this year, has been unavoidably postponed, but the Council hope to be able to include it in the issue for 1892-3.

The Council wish specially to call the attention of Secretaries and other Officers of Libraries and Institutions which are members of the Camden Society to the proposed new law which authorises such Institutions to name a representative who shall be capable of being elected to sit in the Council. The members of the present Council are most anxious to strengthen their position in the manner thus indicated.

Samuel Rawson Gardiner,Director.

James Gairdner,Secretary.
