The objects are— s
1. To collect, register, and digest, and to print for the use of the
members, and the public at large, in a cheap form, and at certain
intervals, such new, interesting, and useful discoveries, as the so.
cicty may have in its possession, or may, from time to time,
acquire.
2. To accumulate gradually a library of the best books on gco.
graphy—a selection of the best voyages and travels, a complete
collection of maps and charts, from the earliest period of rutt:
geographical delineations, to the present time ; as well as all such
documents and materials as may convey the best information to
persons intending to visit foreign countries ; it being of the greatest
utility to a traveller to be aware, previously to his setting out, what
has been already done, and what is still wanting, in the countries he
may intend to visit.
$. To procure specimens of such instruments as experience has
shown to be most useful, and best adapted to the compendious stock
of a traveller, by consulting which he can make himself familiar
with their use.

4. To prepare brief instructions for such as are setting out on their
travels; pointing out the parts most desirable to be visited; th.
beat and most practicable means of proceeding thither ; the re-
searches most essential to make ; phenomena to be observed ; the
subjects of natural history most desirable to be procured; and to
obtain all such information as may tend to the extension of our gco.
graphical knowledge. And it is hoped that the society may ulti.
mately be enabled, from the funds, to render pecuniary assistance tc
such travellers as may require it, in order to facilitate the attain.
ment of some particular object of research.
5. To correspond with similar societies that may be established
in different pacts of the world, with foreign Individuals engaged in
geographical pursuits, and with the most intelligent British mi.
dents is the various remote settlements of the empire.
6. To open a communication with all those philisophical and
literary societies with which geography is connected ; and as all
are fellow-labourers in the different departments of the same vine.
yard, their united efforts cannot fail mutually to assist each other.
7. And lastly, In order to induce men of eminence and ability in
every branch of science, literature, and the arts, and in particular
those who have travelled by sea and by land, and all such as arc
skilled in geographical knowledge, and likely to become useful and
efficient mem ,it was suggested that an admission fee and annual
contribution should be on as moderate a scale as, with the number
of subscribers calculated upon would be sufficient to enable the
society to fulfil the important objects herein alluded to.
