all forms of engraving. The Club will
hold a certain number of meetings at

members can apply, without incurring
expense, for authoritative advice and in-

ment of Prints and Drawings at the
British Museum, and Mr. Martin Hardie,
R.E., Keeper in the corresponding de-

Museum, have consented to serve on this
Committee. Another feature of the Club
will be an annual issue to members of

presentation prints, limited in edition
and reserved entirely for such issue ; to
inaugurate this, Sir Frank Short, R.A.,
the President of the Society, and Mr.
W. P. Robins, R.E., have promised to
present the first plates. Among other
privileges members may introduce a friend
personally at any conversazione held by
the Club, and will have free admission to
all exhibitions and social meetings of the
Society. The entrance fee (except for
the first 200 original members) is £1 is.,,
and the annual subscription is £3 3s..
Membership has already been taken up
with keen interest, and there are only a
comparatively small number of vacancies
for original members. Applicants for
