this year it is proposed to issue _The Reminiscences of
Commander James Anthony Gardner_, 1775-1806, edited by Sir R. VESEY
HAMILTON; and _Select Correspondence of Sir Charles Middleton,
afterwards Lord Barham_, edited by Professor J.K. LAUGHTON.

These are now well advanced, and will, it is hoped, be issued in the
course of the autumn.

Of the several works in preparation--a list of which will be found in
the Advertisement at the end of Vol. XXX--it is unnecessary to speak
here.

The Society will, however, be interested to learn that copies have
been found of the Fighting Instructions of Hawke and Rodney. These
were described at some length by Mr. Julian S. Corbett in the
_Times_ of December 19, and, by the kind permission of the owner,
Mr. Pritchard, will be edited for the Society by Mr. Corbett, and
issued--probably next year--either as a separate volume or included in
a volume of the Miscellany.

The Balance Sheet is appended.
