THE COUNCIL of the Camden Society, elected on the 2nd of May, 1845, have great pleasure in repeating the assurance so uniformly made by former Councils of the continued welfare of the Society, and of establish- ing that gratifying fact, by pointing out, in confirmation of it, that the in- vestments standing in the name of the Trustees of the Society have during the past year been increased from £779 15s. id. to £831 13*. lid. Three per Cent. Consols. The Council have added the following gentlemen to the List of Local Secretaries:— JOHN BRUCE, Esq. F.S.A., for Gloucestershire; Rev. JAMES RAINE, F.S.A. Newc, for Durham; and HENRY ANNESLEY WOODHAM, Esq. M.A. of Jesus College, Cambridge, who has been appointed Local Secretary for Cambridge, in the place of the Rev. John Lodge, M.A. And it would be very gratifying to the Council if other gentlemen possessed of local influence would kindly render assistance to the Society by undertaking the comparatively easy duties annexed to the office of Local Secretary. There is nothing which can more surely contribute to the permanent well-being of the Camden Society than such co-operation on the part of members resident in the country.

The publications of the past year have been— Autobiography of Sir John Bramston, Knight, &c. Edited by the Rt. Hon. LORD BRAYBROOKE, President of the Society, from the Original, in the possession of Thomas William Bramston, Esq. one of the knights of the shire for South Essex. Inedited Letters of the Duke of Perth, from the Originals, in the possession of Lady Willoughby de Eresby. Edited by WILLIAM JERDAN, Esq. M.R.S.L. De Antiquis Legibus Liber, a Chronicle of the Mayors and Sheriffs of London, from 1178 to 1274. Edited by THOMAS STAPLETON, Esq. F.S.A. from the Tran- script made for the late Record Commission (for the use of which the Camden Society is indebted to the Right Honourable Lord Langdale, Her Majesty's Keeper of Re- cords), collated with the Original MS. in the Archives of the City of London. The latter work is now only just ready for delivery, owing to the great care and attention bestowed upon it by Mr. Stapleton, to whose able hands the editorship was entrusted by the Council. The gratifying circumstances under which this volume was placed at their disposal for the purposes of publication were fully announced in the Report of the last year. The Meeting will probably feel it due to the Right Honourable Lord Langdale, Sir Francis Palgrave, and to the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, the Court of Aldermen, and the Common Council, of the City of London, to express by a general vote their sense of the obligations which they have conferred on the Society by the considerate manner in which they have on this occasion promoted its objects; nor will the Society, it is pre- sumed, feel less disposed to give similar public expression of its thanks to T. W. Bramston, Esq., for the loan of the original MS. of Sir John Bramston's Autobiography; and to the Lady Willoughby de Eresby for the use of the Letters of the Duke of Perth. The fact that the two last mentioned Volumes, like many of the pre- ceding Camden Publications, have been derived from materials in the pos- session of private individuals, consequently from sources inaccessible to the general reader, furnishes a very striking proof of the advantages which the establishment of the Camden Society is destined to secure for future inquirers into the history of this country. The fourth publication for the past year will be the " Chronicle of Calais," edited by John Gough Nichols, Esq., and to which, if the Meeting think proper, this Report, with the Report of the Auditors, and the List of Members for the past year, may be appended.
