APRIL 13. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING. S. R. SOLLY, Esq., F.R.S., F.S.A., VICE-PRESIDENT, IN THE CHAIR. THE following Report and Statement from the Auditors for 1852 were read and approved : Auditors' Report. WE, the Auditors of the BRITISH ARCHEOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION, having examined the Accounts of the Treasurer, and inspected the Receipts and Vouchers for the same, for the year 1852, declare them to be correct, and accurately kept. The Receipts during the year have amounted to the sum of £455: 16, whilst the Expenditure during the same period has reached that of £487: 8: 9. There is, consequently, a balance due to the Treasurer to the amount of £31: 12: 9; which, added to the balances in the two former years, makes the Society debtor to the Treasurer in the sum of £145: 14: 6. It is necessary, however, to state, that the expenditure embraces some amounts paid on account of illustrations not yet used in the Journal, but intended for future numbers, which will, therefore, lessen the amount in the current year's audit. The anxious desire of the Council to do justice, by proper illustrations, to the several papers laid before the Association, and the vast number which have been contributed, cannot have failed to be satisfactorily remembered by the Members; and the high character of its Journal is thereby maintained: still we would desire to take this opportunity of expressing our anxious wish that the Members at large would individually exercise their influence to increase the number of Associates, by which the same expenditure might be entailed, without lying under obligation to the Treasurer. It will be satisfactory to know, that besides the amount due to this officer, there is not a single outstanding debt on the part of the Society, and the subscriptions received during the past year have, by a small amount, exceeded those of any one of the five preceding years. Yet, in some respects, it has been an unfortunate one, the Society having lost by death no less than sixteen Associates, and two Correspondents, and by resignation, twenty-eight Associates. In addition to these, there have also been removed from the list sixteen Members for non-payment of their subscriptions, amounting to £66: 3; which, though repeatedly applied for, have failed to be obtained. The measure of expulsion has, doubtless, been one exceedingly painful to the Council, but absolutely necessary towards maintaining a healthy condition of the Association. There are still many Members in arrear, amounting to 105 subscriptions, and we hope they will embrace the earliest opportunity of discharging their obligations to the Association. We strongly recommend that the rule of not delivering the Journal to Members in arrear be strictly enforced, and that the same may be made generally known to the Association. To counterbalance these losses, we have the satisfaction to report, that there have been added forty-four new Associates during the year 1852; and that during the three months of the present year, no less than thirty-eight others, a number unprecedented in the Society at so early a period. The Association, therefore, notwithstanding the great expenditure on its Journal, compared with its means, must be regarded as in a very satisfactory and steadily improving condition. The sale of the Society's publications will be observed to be also gradually increasing, and measures are now in progress more effectually to render that source of income of greater amount than has hitherto been afforded.
