That this book shall contain a list of all the members of the Society, and a statement of their title by inheritance." Committee on Publication. Prof. Edward Graham Daves, Chairman. Hon.

By the death of Professor Daves the Committee sustained a severe loss. Mr. Webb succeeded Professor Daves as Chairman on February 22d, 1895. Hon. Oswald Tilghman and John C. Daves, Esq., were appointed to fill the vacancies, Mr. McHenry having resigned. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
