DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Proceedings and Transactions of the Royal Society of Canada, Vol. 5: For the Year 1887 The Royal Society of Canada held its sixth general meeting in the City Hall, Ottawa, on Wednesday, May 25th. The President, Monsignor Hamel, took the chair at 11 o'clock a.m., and formally called the meeting to order. The minutes of the fifth general meeting. May, 1886, as printed in the fourth volume of the Transactions, were read and approved. The Honorary Secretary then read the following The Council have the honour to submit their Annual Report. In the month of May last, the Council appointed the following gentlemen to act as members of the Printing Committee viz., Dr. T. S. Hunt, Sir W. Dawson, Mr. Thos. Macfarlane, Monsignor Hamel, Hon. P. J. O. Chauveau and Prof. Johnson, of whom three should constitute a quorum. We are happy to be able to state, that the fourth volume, which contains nearly 500 pages, was printed with more despatch than in previous years, and one fourth of the edition is already in course of being distributed among the members, libraries, associations, members of Parliament and others to whom the Society is accustomed to send them. The new rules with respect to the handing in of manuscripts and the correction of proofs by the authors have on the whole facilitated the work of printing and editing. The experience gained from year to year, however, proves that greater facilities might yet be given by the authors of papers, especially in having them submitted in a more complete shape at the annual meetings, so as to avoid the delay in subsequent correction. As a rule, every paper should be in a suitable form for printing when read before a Section. From the abstract of the accounts of Messrs Dawson, which are herewith submitted, it will be seen that the cost of printing the fourth volume has been much less than that of any of the previous volumes: - About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
