Excerpt from Transactions and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Victoria, Vol. 16: Issued 30th April, 1880 We meet to-night to commemorate the entrance of our Society into its twenty-second session, and once again there devolves upon me the pleasant task of addressing you upon the past years history and present affairs of the Society, as well as upon the more interesting points in connection with the progress of science in the world generally since last we met together on a similar occasion to the present. The ordinary meetings of the Society have all been fully occupied with scientific papers, accounts of original experiments or discoveries, exhibits of new or improved scientific instruments, and the discussions emanating from them. Our transactions will show how far your Society has fulfilled its mission and trust during the past twelve months, and although we cannot congratulate ourselves on any unusual vigour or progress, I think we may justly look back with satisfaction on the past years work. The plan of printing and distributing original contributions immediately after they have been read or received at the ordinary meetings has been found a good one, and I believe has imparted fresh vigour to our proceedings.
