^{page 73 note 1} See Observations on the State of Historical Literature, by Nicolas, N. H., 1830, p. 39Google Scholar. Mr. (afterwards Sir) N. H. Nicolas had been elected on the Council in succession to Mr. Raper, deceased, on 25th June, 1827. He appears not to have been re-elected the following year, and to have withdrawn from the Society in 1829. His book is a bitter attack upon its management. The Society has always been open to this sort of cheap criticism, and does not appear to have suffered much from it.

^{page 74 note 1} Most of the preceding statements are derived from the unpublished MS. minutes of the Society, and I hope that they will be found of sufficient interest to encourage the Council in their resolution to print those minutes in extenso. Other statements are given on the authority of the Dictionary of National Biography, or derived from various sources. From this point the anniversary addresses of successive Presidents of the Society, as recorded in the two series of its printed Proceedings, supply most of the facts.
