On behalf of the Committee on Visual Instruction, I have to express most grateful thanks to the Goldsmiths' Company for the generous grant of £100, which, as you intimate in your letter of the 16th of June, they have been good enough to make to the funds of the Committee.

Apart from the substantial nature of the grant, my Committee highly appreci- ate the interest thus shown by the Goldsmiths' Company in the important task which they are endeavouring to complete.
