THE CAMDEN SOCIETY is instituted to perpetuate, and render accessible,
whatever is valuable, but at present little known, amongst the materials
for the Civil, Ecclesiastical, or Literary History of the United Kingdom;
and it accomplishes that object by the publication of Historical Documents,
Letters, Ancient Poems, and whatever else lies within the compass of its
designs, in the most convenient forms, and at the least possible expense
consistent with the production of useful volumes.
The Subscription to the Society is 1l. per annum, which becomes due in
advance on the first day of May in every year, and is received by MESSRS.
NICHOLS, 25. PARLIAMENT STREET, or by the several LOCAL SECRETARIES.
Members may compound for their future Annual Subscriptions, by the payment
of 10l. over and above the Subscription for the current year. The
compositions received have been funded in the Three per Cent, Consols to an
amount exceeding 900l. No Books are delivered to a Member until his
Subscription for the current year has been paid. New Members are admitted
at the Meetings of the Council held on the First Wednesday in every month.
