'History of the imâms and seyyids of 'Omân by Salîl-ibn-Razîk, from A.D. 661-1856; translated from the original Arabic, and edited with notes, appendices, and an introduction, continuing the history down to 1870, by George Percy Badger, F.R.G.S., late chaplain in the Presidency of Bombay.'

a number of individuals, who feel an intereft in the fame
purfuit, are thus brought to a6l in voluntary combination,
and the ordinary charges of publication are alfo avoided, fo
that the volumes produced are diftributed among the
Members (who can alone obtain them) at little more than
the coft of printing and paper. The Society expends the
whole of its funds in the preparation of works for the
Members ; and fince the coft of each copy varies inverfely
as the whole number of copies printed, it is obvious that
the members are gainers individually by the profperity of
the Society, and the confequent vigour of its operations.
Gentlemen defirous of becoming Members of the Hakluyt
Society fhould intimate their intention to the Secretary,
Mr. Clements R. Markham, 21, Ecclejion Square, S. IV.,
or to the Society's Agent for the delivery of its
volumes, Mr. Richards, 37, Great Queen Street, Lincoln's
Inn Fields ; when their names will be recorded, and, on
payment of their fubfeription of ^1:1 to Mr. Richards,
they will receive the volumes iffued for the year.
New Members have, at present (1871), the privilege of
purehafing the eomplete fet of the publications of the Society
for previous years for nineteen guineas, but have not the
power of felecting any particular volume.
The Members are requefted to bear in mind that the
power of the Council to make advantageous arrangements
will depend, in a great meafure, on the prompt payment of
the fubferiptions, which are payable in advance on the
1 ft of January, and are received by Mr. Richards, 37,
Great Queen Street, Lincoln's Inn Fields. Poft Office
Orders fhould be made payable to Mr. THOMAS RICHARDS,
at the Wefi Central Office, High Holborn.
