now tender you my sincere and heartfelt thanks

charge the duties devolving on so important a
station, in manner to do honor TO the cause i'm
which we have embarked, and can only promise
ihat by zeal, industry, and devotedncss to the well

and education.
As this is our first meeting since we have been
organized Society, it may be proper for me 10
give you my views of the intent and purpose for
which our Association is formed, and | will state
them briefly for your consideration.
In the first place, we propose to gain as well as
to tmpayt knowledge. This may be done i'm va
rious ways; and one of the surest and most ready
will be the hearing of lectures delivered by men
OF science and practical skill. These will set MS
to thinking and searching for ourselves, holding
out strong nduceInent for US 10 spend our lei
sure hours in reading and study. The books on
Science published IN this enlightened are are so
plain and explicit, thai all men of ordinary cana.

To set us to reading will be one grand point cain.

and ya ssaA fnd." is applicable to Knowledge OF
every description; and as we have associated
ourselves together for the purpose of GAINING
knowledge, II we are dligent n our search, ouI
success Is certain.
have thought Of plan Of improving upon the
lectures we shall hear, which ] think will be
Z highly beneficial. 1t is this that every member
OF the Association after hearing lecture, shall al
the succeeding meeting, present his views of the
subject lectured upon, in writing, and read then
! before Inc Society, and that all such communica
lions shall be submitted to committee who shal
examine them with care, and select one or NOR,
| oil them To be preserved among the archives o
the Society Tor the benefit of its members. These
communications and the lectures on which the,
are based will form subjects for discussion tina
will be both profitable and pleasing.
! Books must be considered one OF the indispen
sabcs OF our Society, and to pIocufe them mus
be one OF our first considerations. Though ",
cannot expect to have library of any consdera
