Excerpt from Report of Proceedings With the Papers Read at the Third Annual General Meeting: Held in Manchester, July 5, 6, and 7, 1892
HE meeting Of the Association in Manchester was, this year, held at the time when the country was in the midst Of a general election; and although Museums are, happily, outside and apart from the general turmoil Of politics, many delegates from Museum Committees were kept away from the meeting by political engagements, and the attendance was consequently smaller than would otherwise have been the case.
Notwithstanding this, the meeting was very successful and pleasant, and the arrangements made by the Local Committee were all that could be desired; the warm and hospitable reception given to the Association by the authorities Of Owens College, and by the people Of Manchester generally, was cordially appreciated by the members.
The papers read at the meeting were Of a high order, and the discussions animated and instructive. A new and interest ing feature was introduced into the debates by the attendance Of delegates of the Library Association, who came to the meeting to discuss the subject of Library and Museum Legis lation, with a View to its improvement.
