During the autumn of 1847, the Historical and Natural History Societies held several meetings to effect a union. A joint commit- tee was appointed to draft a plan to serve as a basis of organization. The plan offered by the committee was accepted by the Societies, at a meeting held on January 14th, 1848. The Act of Incorporation from the Legislature was obtained in February of the same year, and on the first of March following, by its acceptance, the ESSEX INSTITUTE Was organized.

Approved by the Governor, Feb. 11, 1848.
A committee to prepare a Constitution and By-Laws was appointed, and their report was accepted at a meeting held on the 8th of March.
Thus organized, the Institute consists of three departments :- the HISTORICAL, having for its object the collection and preservation of whatever relates to the geography, antiquities, civil and ecclesiasti- cal history of Essex County, in Massachusetts. The NATURAL HIS- TORY, for the formation of a Cabinet of natural productions in gen- eral, and more particularly of those of the County, and for a Library of standard works on the natural sciences. The HORTICULTURAL, for promoting a taste for the cultivation of choice fruits and flowers, and also for collecting works on horticulture and agriculture in con- nection with the general Library.
LIBRARY.
The Library contains about 22,000 volumes, comprising numerous files of newspapers, public documents, local histories, &c .; also the transactions or collections of various historical, agricultural, scien- tific and other societies ; besides many valuable works illustrative of the natural sciences ; about 50,000 pamphlets, (exclusive of dupli- cates,) political, historical, educational, &c., unbound, arranged ac- cording to subjects.
These have principally been obtained by donations or exchanges. Among the donors may be mentioned our late lamented President, Hon. D. A. White, who has at different times, during his life and at his decease, given or bequeathed some 8,000 volumes comprising a good series of the Old English Classics, also of the Latin and Greek, and several volumes printed during the 15th and 16th centuries,- the late Mrs. Eliza L. Rogers, who bequeathed a copy of Audubon's Birds of America ; and the late Ichabod Tucker and Thomas Cole, besides many friends of the Institute whose names it would be in- vidious to mention. Over two thousand books and pamphlets were added to the library during the past year by donation and exchange.
MUSEUM.
The several departments of the Institute are well represented, and in a number of the classes of the Animal Kingdom the collec- tions are inferior to but one or two others in the Country ; though the crowded state of the rooms devoted to the Museum will not al- low of their being so advantageously arranged as is desirable. The
14
specimens in several of the classes are, however, arranged and iden- tified, and catalogues of these will soon be published. In order to do as much good as possible with the duplicate specimens a large number have been sent, as donations, to other Institutions, during the past year and several other collections are now being made up for transmission. In consequence of this liberal use of its rich sup- ply of duplicates, the Institute has been the recipient of large and valuable collections from Scientific Institutions and men, both in this country and abroad, and the specimens are now arriving in such numbers as to tax its resources to their utmost in order that the proper care be taken of these treasures.
The following estimate of the number of specimens (exclusive of a large number of duplicates) in the various departments of the Museum presents a general view of the character of the collection at the present time.
HISTORICAL DEPARTMENT.
The section of Ethnology contains about 1400 specimens, illustra- ting the habits, costumes, war and domestic implements of the va- rious races and nations.
In the section of Manuscripts there are a very large number of Manuscripts relating to our early civil and ecclesiastical history.
In the section of Fine Arts there are several hundred Portraits, Paintings and Engravings, many of which are of great historical value.

MEETINGS.
The meetings of the Institute are as follows, viz. :
Stated Quarterly meetings ; Regular meetings on the Ist and 3d Monday evenings of each month, and Field meetings during the summer months at such times and places as may be agreed upon.
The first field meeting took place in Danvers on Tuesday, June 12, 1849. At that time the interesting localities of the Vaccinium vitis-idea in Danvers, also that of the Andromeda polifolia near Ce- dar pond in Wenham, were visited. These meetings were continued for some two or three years, when they were discontinued in conse- quence of the removal by death of several of those members who were the most interested, among whom may be mentioned THOMAS

COLE, a graduate of Harvard of the class of 1798; for many years a resident of Salem; a distinguished teacher, a ripe and elegant scholar; and, in the later years of his life, a distinguished micro- seopist. His decease occurred on the 24th of June, 1852. ANDREW NICHOLS, a valued Physician ; one of the founders of the Essex County Natural History Society ; its president from the period of its organization until the annual meeting in June 1845, at which time lie resigned the office. Born in the rural part of Danvers, where nature was unusually attractive to its admirers, he carly im- bibed a taste for the study and investigation of its works. He was particularly conversant with the geological formations, and with the wild flowers and trees of his neighborhood, many of which he was the first to recognize and publish to the world, through his friend Dr. Jacob Bigelow, in the "Florula Bostoniensis." Ile died on the thirty-first of March, 1853.
In consequence of the accession of several young and enthusias- tic members, these meetings were again renewed in the summer of 1856, and have been continued since that time with great success and an increasing interest. Usually six are held each season in dif- ferent places in the county, as circumstances may decide. Thus far meetings have been held in twenty-seven of the thirty-four towns be- longing to the county, and in thirty-five different localities. The forenoon is devoted to rambling in the woods and fields, or on the beach, in quest of Nature's treasures or visiting some old historic or antiquarian relic. In the afternoon the attendants assemble in some church, town-hall, or schoolhouse, and after a collation dis- cuss the subjects presented to notice during the day. The public are invited to be present and to participate on these occasions ; and these meetings are now very popular and largely attended.
The first evening meeting took place on Thursday, Dec. 11, 1851. They have since been continued during the wintry months and have been fully attended by members and their friends.
LECTURES.
Two courses of Miscellaneous lectures on the Natural Sciences have been given by the Society.
One, of six lectures, during the Spring of 1863, by Professors Agassiz, S. Tenney, J. P. Cooke, W. B. Rogers, and Messrs. C. M. Tracy, and F. W. Putnam. The other, a course of ten lectures, during the winter of 1863 and 1864, by Dr. C. T. Jackson, Professor B. Peirce, President Hill of Harvard University, and Messrs. C. W. Tuttle, Cleveland Abbe, N. E. Atwood, Alpheus Hyatt, C. M. Tracy, and A. E. Verrill.
17
Rev. J. L. Russell, in May, 1832, delivered a course of ten lectures on the Development of the Plant, to a private class in the rooms of the Institute ; also a similar course in the months of January and February, 1859. During the winter of 1853 and 1854, several of the meetings were devoted by Mr. Russell to lectures on Insects. .
F. W. Putnam in the months of April and May, 1861, delivered a course of lectures on Zoology in the Hall of the Institute; also a course of five lectures on Insects, on the five Thursday evenings of March, 1865, at the Lyceum Hall, under the auspices of the Institute.
C. M. Tracy gave a course of eight lectures on Botany, at the In- stitute rooms, commencing on Saturday afternoon, April 29, 1865, and continued on successive Saturdays.
PUBLICATIONS.
Two Publieations are issued under the direction of a Committee of the Institute. From the year 1848 to that of 1860, two volumes of the PROCEEDINGS OF THE ESSEX INSTITUTE were published. These volumes contained the papers, on various subjects, which had been communicated at the meetings of the Society, and the records of the meetings. In April 1859, another publication was commenc- ed by the Committee, under the title of THE HISTORICAL COLLEC- TIONS OF THE ESSEX INSTITUTE, which contains abstracts from the old Town and Church Records, old Journals and Diaries, and those papers of an historical character which had been read at the meet- ings. Before the close of the year this publication was issued in regular bi-monthly parts and has now reached its seventh volume. From 1860 to 1863, the third volume of the Proceedings was pub- lished. With the commencement of the year 1864, the Proceedings were somewhat changed in their character and issued quarterly. The eight numbers published during 1864 and 1865 form volume fourth, and contain the records of the meetings, with the quarterly lists of the donations to the Museum and Library, and communica- tions on Natural History and Horticulture which have been read be- fore the Society. The Communications are distinctly paged to al- low of their seperate binding if desired. Fifteen octavo plates and a number of wood cuts accompany the fourth volume.
The NATURALISTS' DIRECTORY is published with the Proceedings, commencing with number five of volume fourth. It is paged by it- self and is intended to be bound as a distinct work. When complet- ed, it will contain as full a list as it is possible to obtain of all Natu- ralists in the world, giving their address in full and the department in which they are engaged. There will be three different orders of

18
arrangement of the names, viz., Alphabetically, Systematically and Geographically. In the Appendix, notices of specimens for sale, or exchange : wants ; addresses of Taxidermists, Dealers in speci- mens and naturalists' apparatus &c. ; also, the addresses of Natural Ilistory Artists, and such other matters as will make the work one of general reference by Naturalists, will be given. Part First of the Directory, consisting of thirty-six pages, was issued with the fifth number of volume fourth of the Proceedings and contained the ad- dresses of the Naturalists in North America and the West Indies, under an alphabetical arrangement. The Second part was com- menced in the sixth number and will be completed during the next year. This part will contain the addresses of the North American and West Indian Naturalists, arranged under the various departments of study.
The following table of the contents of the several volumes pub- lished by the Institute will best exhibit their character.
