Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sessional Papers, Vol. 29: Third Session Eighth Legislature of the Province of Ontario; Session 1897; Part Vi
The year 1895-6 has been one of unusual activity to the local members of the coun cil into whose hands the conduct of affairs at the Society's headquarters is placed, but the labors of the Secretary have been reduced to a minimum by the kind' and efficient work done by the Librarian and Curator, who has attended to almost all of the work which might otherwise have fallen upon the Secretary. During the early part of the year the council issued a leaflet setting forth the advantage and usefulness of membership in the Society; the said leaflet being for the purpose of enclosure in the correspondence of the members and it is hoped that the influence of the Society will be widened thereby. Seven council meetings have been called during the year, and three consultation meetings, to which all the local members were invited; for the conduct of business in general, and more especially for that relating to the change of rooms. The negotiations which had begun at the time cf the last annual meeting with the Young Men's Christian Association of this city, for the lease of a room in their new building, have continued throughout the year and have about reached a favorable conclu sion, so that unless a bitch occurs, the Society should be occupying the proposed new room in three or four weeks. The routine work of the Society has proceeded as usual, the meetings of the sections having been regular, except the Ornithological section which did not meet during the year. Particulars of the Work of the other sections will be given in the reports by their Secretaries. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
