Sir Roert Moray moved that every one of the Council should think of wayes to raise revenue to carry on the design and work of the Society
Dr Whistler had several ideas: that his Majesty should be spoken to, that in every new Grant something might be stipulated for the use of the Society. Also, that if any thing should be found, that at the present yields no revenue to the King, the Grant might fall to the Society. Also, that upon all Philosophical books, printed in England, some imposition might be made for the benefit of the Society. |
