The 5th Of The Present Month The Anni-On...
the 5 th of the present month the Anni-ON versary Dinner ( the Ninety-seventh ) of
the Royal Literary Fund will take place in Willis ' s Rooms , the Right Honourable the
Earl of Iddesleigh occupying the chair . Last year we gave a brief account of the origin of
the Fund , which is : acknowledged as being among the most beneficent of British charities .
The report of the management gives the following information respecting grants awarded
to authors during the year 1885 : —History and Biography , 8 grants , £ 325 ; Science and
ALrt , 7 grants , £ 455 ; Biblical Literature , 4 grants , £ 125 ; Poetry , 3 grants , £ 70 ; Classical
Literature , 7 grants , £ 300 ; Periodical Literature , 8 grants , £ 315 ; Topography and Travels ,
3 grants , £ 120 ; Essays and Tales , 6 grants , £ 370 ; Miscellaneous 5 grants , £ 185 .
, Of the recipients , 3 o were males and 16 females , the latter including 5 authors , 8
widows , and 3 orphans . We would remind our readers that the
object of the Fund is very extensive in its benefits . Without being confined to one
country , they are conferred upon a class of men of letters who have laboured in the
higher fields of authorship , which , from a pecuniary point of view , are often unproductive .
The widows and orphans of learned men are also provided for , a fit indication that the
selfsacrificing labours of those who have passed away in indigence are not unappreciated by
fellow-workers and sympathisers .

without exception , and in colouring p they , present most effective examples of well-executed

majority of the pictures are of a popular nature . To those wh . o want attractive articles
