IT is proposed by the Council to include in future volumes, among other papers of historical interest, Sketches of Nazareth and the adjacent settlements, by James Henry, and a complete Bibliotheca Moraviensis, by the Rev. Edmund de Schweinitz. At the same time it desires it to be understood that it is not answerable for any opinions or observations that may appear in the publications of the Association, the Editors of the several works being alone responsible for the same.

The edition of these Memorials being limited and the cost thereby enhanced, the Council finds it necessary to rigorously abstain from incurring all additional expense, such as that of presentation copies, of commission, of advertising And hente too it would hereby solicit the co-operation of all subscribers in furthering the interests of the Association, by extending its membership among their friends and acquaintances.

The present volume has unavoidably exceeded the limits. proposed by the Council in its Circular.
