The Council licenced number 24 of the Philosophical Transactions, consisting of four written sheets in folio, and of eight figures; peculiarly designed for seamen to make observations in their sea-voyages: for which purpose, one hundred copies should be taken off from the printers, at the Society's charge, and lodged with the Master of Trinity-house to be disposed of by him to fit seamen.
It was discussed that the Operator should consider what would be the charge for a whole set of the Instruments described in these Transactions.
Discussed that Mr Sprat had asked what he should do in the matter of inserting the Statutes into the History of the Society. Decided that Dr Wilkins should be asked to look through the said Statutes, and so to abbreviate them, as that the most material and least alterable particulars thereof might be inserted in the History. |
