Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Transactions From 1901-07 With Historical Sketch
BY a resolution of the Society of date 25th October, 1905, it was unanimously agreed that the movement begun five years previously to make some permanent record of the Transactions of the Society should be continued and ampli fied. On that occasion only a list of the subjects of the Papers read before the Society since its formation was given, and as the Papers continued in the hands of the authors it was felt that the results of considerable study and research, frequently of an entirely original character, were practically lost to the great majority of the members. To obviate this loss, and possibly to make the work of the Society beneficial to a wider circle than the membership, it was resolved to issue at intervals a resume of the Society's Proceedings, containing brief summaries of the Papers read and discussed. The present publication is made in accordance with this resolution. In nearly every case the summary has been prepared by the author of the Paper himself, and where that was found impossible the fact has been stated.
