    ' ' ' * -I ' ' In resigning their trust , and rendering an account of their stewardship , your Committee hbp ^ ttilatr the statement , now to belaid before you , of the transactions of the past year , will shew that they have endeavoured to manage the resources of the Society , and to promote its objects , with fidelity , zeal and prudence ; and you will participate in the pleasure with
