Book Description

Excerpt from Transactions of the Society, Instituted at London, for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce, Vol. 39: With the Premiums Offered in the Year 1821 The Committee of Correspondence and Papers, to whom, with the Secretary, the publication of the annual Volume of Transactions is intrusted, have, for the last three or four years, been strenuously exerting themselves to expedite, as far as possible, this very important object. For this purpose they have continued their weekly meetings through the greater part of the vacation, devoting their time and attention to the multifarious details which the due execution of the business confided to them by the Society urgently requires. The success which has, attended their labours in this respect, has been eminently gratifying to them. Never before has so short a period intervened between the conclusion of a Session, and the publication of its Transactions. The ground thus gained will, it is hoped, be perma uently secured, and the present success serve as a stimulus and example for the future.
