once more summoned the best and brightest intellects of the kingdom to consider some of the questions relating * to the social and domestic
welfare of our people . At the time of the first meeting of this Association , in the autumn of last it was asked by many cavillers " what is the use of all
this discus year sion , ? " Those who attended that gathering learnt for themselves in what consisted its value—how encouraging , how
insp were iring elicited it was b to so meet so seekers many devoted after truth workers . For ; 'what those new who facts did y many
not attend , the volume of Transactions published by the Association furnished a lasting record of what was effected . To say nothing of
the addresses from the heads of sections , which had been published at the time in the newspapers , there were innumerable papers ,

all attention to detail in their own separate departments of legal , sanitary the , educational results of their , reformatory experience , or to economical the world action compressing , and who int _i-heii o a
few _gave pages . the intellectual essence of months and , years of practical laborThose . who imagined that the effect of such a meeting
con-. sisted only in a froth of words and compliments all round , could neither have heard nor read of that which was actually said and done .
And now we have once more the newspaper reports of another session of a week ' s duration , and when the details come to be
published we shall probably find them more weighty and fuller of living interest than last year . For the papers read then were
the fruits of effort which had preceded the establishment of the Association ; those now read will have described the result of a
more systematic exertion , whereby the labors of many have been broug In ht examining to bear on the particularl ious reports y obscure of the and Times difficult —reports questions naturall . y
dwelling more on the cop brilliant addresses by famous men than on the useful and interesting papers sent by the general members—we
have come to the conclusion that extracts from the more strikingpassages , forming , as it were , a short summary of the plan laid down
