Proceeding generally according to the suggestion of the provisional Committee, the Society availed itself of the aid of several benevolent and enlightened persons, who had prepared or were compiling useful works in the native languages, during the first year of it’s institution, and took measures for printing, or subscribing for, at its expense, works in various languages to the extent of 34,476 copies; giving a splendid promise of future exertion. The specification alone of these works would occupy several pages; but this detail is not necessary to excite our admiration of the efforts of the many excellent individuals, who have been actively employed in this service of benevolence.
The amount received from the public liberality, at the expiration of the first year of the Society’s formation was,
