Very beautifully engraved steel plates have been procured by a member who authorizes their use for printing cards of introduction for Visitors, to be had in such numbers as may be desired by any member of the Society, at the cost Of printing, or three dollars per hun dred for the larger, and two dollars and fifty cents per hun dred for the smaller ones. They may be Obtained of the Librarian or Secretary, or orders for them may be given to the collector, Mr. James E. Kaighn. The card, desirable as it is in removing any chance of perplexity as to the mode of access, is not, however, absolutely necessary, for, in accord ance with early and constant usage, the Librarian admits any civil person who desires access. Upon entering, the visitor records his name and place of residence in the Registry. The building of the Society is situated on the beautiful grounds Of that ancient and noble charity, the Pennsylvania Hospital, no. 820 Spruce Street; but before entering it, some notice may be made of what has been deemed fitting to place on the exterior.
