ME PARKER SocrEry.—On Thursday the annual
I meeting of this Society, instituted in 1840, for the publication of the
works of the fathers and early writers of the Reformed English Church, was held at Freamascus' Ball. Lord Ashley, the president
of the society, occupied the chair. Mr. George Stokes read the fifth
annual report. It stated that the delivery of books for the year had
been completed; the amount received was 6,9661. 10s. lid., and the
expenditure 6,8521. 15s. 9d., leaving a balance of 1131. 15s. 2d. to be
carried to the next account. The volumes issued last year were
five in number, containing the remaining portion of Bishop Latimer's
works,' Letters from the Archives of Zurich, select Devotional
Poetry of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and a portion of the works
of Bishop Jewel. Fourteen authors were at present in preparation,
and' various other standard books, which from their scarcity are be.
gond the reach of a large number of persons who would otherwise
make themselves acquainted with their contents. The report having
been adopted, a vote of thanks was passed to Lord Ashley, who, in
acknowledgment, remarked that he had become possessed of two
copies of all the works the Parker Society had published. One set he
had reserved for himsel4 and the ether he had presented totho
