REPORT

OF

THE COUNCIL.

The Council of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society has
now the duty of offering to the Thirteenth Annual Meeting
a concise view of the state and prospects of the Institution.
During the past year considerable progress has been made
in the enrichment of the Museum, improvements have been
accomplished in the garden, the scientific concerns of the
Society have been in several points advanced, the finances
are improved, and the debt is diminished. In the course of
the year the Society has been honoured by a special visit of
two members of the Royal Family, and received munificent
marks of their interest in its welfare.

While, at a very short distance from this Museum, another
public institution is rising to record the growing desire in
our country for the improvement of the moral and intellectual
condition of all classes of the people, — while, through the
whole North of England, new literary and scientific associa¬
tions are established, it is gratifying to feel that the public
favour, and the patronage of Yorkshire, are not withdrawn
from this Society. Nor does there appear any ground for
anticipating a reverse to the picture of continual prosperity
which is found in the Reports of former years — there has
never been but one difficulty pressing on our exertions ; but
if our funds have long been restricted, it is gratifying to
know that our expenses are now controlled, and after a year
of extraordinary outlay and liberal grants for various improve¬
ments and researches, the Meeting will find that the Balance
due to the Treasurer has been diminished *Js. 0 d.

liEPORT OF

During the year, the Geological Collection of the Society
has been considerably enriched. The already line series of Ter¬
tiary Organic Remains has been rendered extremely valuable
to the general student, by a large donation of Sicilian Fossils ; 1
and still more instructive to the local geologist by the addition
of a series of specimens from Bridlington Quay, obtained
from a locality where several of our members had previously
found indications of a Tertiary deposit, though it is only with¬
in the last year that the state of the coast permitted a satis¬
factory investigation of it. 2

A collection of fossils from the mountain limestone of the
N. W. of Ireland, received from Lord Cole, has been found
of great value for the laborious comparison of Organic forms
from different localities on which Professor Phillips has
been lately occupied in order to complete his Work on the
Geology of Yorkshire. The Second Volume of that Work is
now passing through the press, with very numerous drawings
of fossils, maps, and sections, and thus labours which have
continued through all the period of the existence of this
Society will terminate in the fulfilment of one of its earliest
recommendations, having for its object the illustration of the
interior structure of a county remarkably rich in geological
interest.

The Zoological collections have been augmented by
several contributions of British and Foreign Birds and Qua¬
drupeds, some of them extremely valuable ; large additions
have also been made to the cabinets of shells ; some Foreign
Insects have been presented, and many more will be received
so soon as suitable cabinets can be prepared. Useful additions
have been made to the British Crustacea and other invertebral

classes, from the shores of the South of England. The Col¬
lection of British Birds has been arranged and named upon
a plan which allows of the work being gradually completed :
but this was found impracticable with respect to Foreign
Birds, (now exceeding one thousand in number,) until they
should be all completely mounted. The cost of this process
for several hundred birds was too great for the Council
hastily to incur : the work is however proceeding, and it will
be for the next Council to ascertain how far the statement
of finances, hereafter appended, will justify a more vigorous
prosecution of it. It is proposed to make an alteration in
this room, by removing the insects to a cabinet of drawers :
thus providing additional space for the complete classification
of a larger series of Foreign and British Shells.

The arrangement of the Botanical Collections has been
suspended in consequence of the want of a suitable receptacle
for them ; this deficiency may perhaps be supplied.

The state of the Garden has been frequently brought under
the consideration of the Council ; and a large quantity of
soil and peat has been added to particular parts ; a con¬
siderable improvement has been effected near the multangular
tower, by an alteration of the line of the boundary wall, and
permission has been given for the erection of a Conservatory
by the Sub-Curator.

The Instruments in the Observatory have been in continual
use ; and some improvements have been effected in the arrange¬
ment and employment of them ; an interesting addition has
been made in the curious equatorial of Mr. Abraham Sharpe,
which has been presented by Mr. Newman. The expenses
of this useful establishment have been hitherto defrayed by
the gentlemen who give their time and skill to the task of
observation ; the debt left on the erection of the building has

4

REPORT OF

not been discharged by the Society ; and it appears desirable
that these arrangements should be put upon a more satisfac¬
tory footing.

The value of such an establishment in fostering and dif¬
fusing a taste for astronomical researches, was exemplified in
two instructive lectures on Cometary Astronomy delivered to
the Society by Mr. Newman ; and the Council confidently
anticipates from the zeal and information of several of the
Members of the Society, a succession of instructive discourses
on this and other branches of science during the next session.
It has been the wish, both of the Council and of the gentle¬
men alluded to, that the admission to these lectures should
be gratuitous, at least to Members of the Society ; it has
however been suggested that the opportunity should not be
lost, of endeavouring by such means to provide funds for the
liquidation of the observatory debt, should this Meeting not
think it proper to direct the immediate settlement of that
account, and to become the rightful and real possessors of
the edifice and the valuable instruments which it now contains,
and may hereafter receive by private liberality. *

.During the week of the Musical Festival, which took place
in September, it was thought advisable to adopt every means
of rendering the Museum and gardens accessible to the nu¬
merous and respectable strangers then assembled in York ;
but as an indiscriminate admission within its gates appeared
wholly incompatible with quiet and good order, and inconsis¬
tent with the general spirit of the Institution, Tickets were
prepared, at a small price, for the use of those persons who
failed to provide themselves with the regular introduction of a
Member. About one thousand persons testified, by the pur¬
chase of these tickets, their sense of the convenience of the
arrangement ; and thus without in the smallest degree in-

* It was resolved by the Annual Meeting that the debt on the
Observatory should he discharged out of the Society’s funds.

THE COUNCIL.

fringing on the rights of subscribers, and without endangering
the comfort and good order of the establishment, the public
were gratified, and the funds of the Institution benefited
to the extent of £ 40 . For this proceeding, under the pecu¬
liar circumstances of the case, the Council has no doubt
that the Meeting will fully accord their approbation, and
it appears desirable that, for the future, the discretionary
power of the Council in such matters should not be abridged :
it is however for this Meeting to decide whether any further
directions are required. *

The Musical Festival produced to the Society the honour
of a most gratifying visit from Their Royal Highnesses-
the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria, who,
after examining all the collections with attention, inscribed
their names as Patronesses of the Yorkshire Museum, and
contributed a munificent donation for the augmentation of
the Library.

In the Antiquarian department some valuable additions
have been made during the last year. Mr. J. R. Mills has
presented to the Society a curious Egyptian tablet, obtained
from the collections of the late Mr. Salt. From Mr. Swineard
have been received some beautiful remains of an altar screen,
in stone, found buried in a garden near the western end of
the Minster : and from the City Commissioners, the stones of
a fine arch nearly entire ; a part, it is probable, of the
Hospital of St. Peter. But among the various additions
to this department of the Museum, the mortar formerly be¬
longing to the Infirmary of St. Mary's Abbey, must be
regarded as of peculiar value. This curious relic, which
having been lost from York soon after the days of Drake,
appeared again several years ago in a foundry at Birmingham ;

* The Meeting resolved that strangers not introduced by a member
or by written order, might be admitted by Tickets, to be provided by
the Council, and sold under their direction at one shilling each.

THE COUNCIL

i

In following out the Resolution of the last Annual Meeting
relative to the lease of the Manor Shore, the Council has
found on the part of the Government every desire to forward
the objects of the Society, as far as the law allows ; but new
circumstances have arisen, which rendered it inexpedient to
adopt a definitive arrangement without once more appealing
to the general body of the Society. It appears, after full con¬
sideration, and especially after examination of the stipulations
in the draft of the lease, that it will be more advantageous
to the Society to effect the negociation for obtaining possession
of the remainder of the Manor Shore by purchase rather
than by lease. A real possession of the ground, the power
to turn it to useful purposes in harmony with the situation
and with the objects of the Institution, is not to be had by
lease from the crown, either for 33 or 99 years ; the former
is too short a tenure, the latter encumbered with restrictions
directly at variance with the clearest objects of the Society.
Regarded, moreover, as a question of profitable investment of
money, the Council is of opinion that the purchase of more
than five acres of ground, with houses, &c. adjoining the Ruin
and the Museum Garden, for <F2,500. is more advantageous
than a lease for 99 years at £^0. per annum, with stipulations
to erect permanent edifices of the value of d?2,500. *

But one thing remains to be presented to the Meeting be¬
fore proceeding to consider this important question — the State
of the Society’s Finances.

* The Council was authorized by the Annual Meeting to purchase
the ground.
