FUNDS.
The benevolent receipts, including legacies, amount to £15,479; but as
£500 of this sum is by the will of the testator, Mr. William Hollins,
directed to be kept distinct, the dividends upon it have alone been
available, thus reducing the amount to £14,979.
The grants for the year, including money, paper, and publications, have
amounted to £17,223, making the excess of grants over the receipts
£2,244.

The total circulation for the year is about forty-one millions of
publications from the Home Depository; and about eight millions more from
Foreign Depôts.
