Excerpt from Proceedings and Transactions of the Royal Society of Canada, for the Year 1894, Vol. 12: General Index I-XII Ever since Your Excellency and the Countess of Aberdeen have come into this country Canadians have had many evidences of the lively interest which Your Excellencies take in every subject affect ing not merely the material advantages of the Dominion, but the culture and education of the people at large. Your Excellency has the inestimable advantage of belonging to an estate of the realm which has given many great. Names to the political as well as literary history of England. Not least among those names we find that of your eminent grandfather who was once truly designated by a famous English poet, 'thc travelled Thane, Athenian Aberdeen.' Canada has had already abundant evidence from your public utterances that Your Excellency inherits the tastes of your distinguished family, and that it will be your desire to develop among us that high culture without which no country can ever become truly great. It is with deep interest that the Royal Society has noted the ability and energy with which Her Excellency the Countess of Aberdeen is identifying herself with a national movement which must tend to make the women of Canada far more important factors than they ere\now in the social and intel lectual life of this new country.

Excerpt from Proceedings and Transactions of the Royal Society of Canada, 1889: Deliberations Et Memoires De La Societe Royale Du Canada The Royal Society of Canada held its seventh general meeting in the Railway Committee Room of the House of Commons at Ottawa, on Tuesday, May 22nd. The President, Prof. Lawson, took the chair at 11 o'clock, a. m., and formally called the meeting to order. Dr. George Stewart was called upon to act as secretary in the temporary absence of Dr. Bourinot. The minutes of the sixth general meeting, May, 1887, as printed in the fifth volume of the Transactions, were read and approved. The Acting Secretary read the following Report of the Council. The Council of the Royal Society of Canada have the honour to submit their annual report: - Vol. VI of the Transactions of the Society has recently appeared and is now in course of distribution. It contains over six hundred and fifty pages of printed matter and several illustrations, on the whole well executed. Much delay has occurred, as in the case of previous volumes, on account of the difficulty of obtaining the return of proofs and revises with a satisfactory degree of promptitude. It is needless, however, to observe that so large a volume, filled with many abstruse and scientific papers, requiring very exact revision, cannot be rapidly issued like ordinary books; and the publisher and printer can be congratulated on the excellence of their work and on their efforts to meet the wishes of the authors in every essential particular. At the same time the Council must impress on the authors of papers the difficulty of keeping a large amount of matter for months in type, and the necessity of assisting the printers by every means in their power. We submit the accounts of printing and publishing as audited by the Printing Committee. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
