THE following sheets have been submitted to the correction of their authors as far as it was possible. The only exceptions are the Papers of the Lord Bishop of Calcutta and the Rev. Canon Shirley, D.D., (who died shortly after the Congress,) and the Speeches of two or three members who had gone abroad, or left no address. The two papers were fully and clearly written out by their lamented authors, and the speeches have been carefully corrected by the Editor from the shorthand writer's report. Unfortunately several other papers were not so complete; this neglect, together with the time consumed in the transmission of the proof sheets, has thrown the Report (in spite of every effort to the contrary) almost as late as its predecessor at Norwich. It is to be hoped that the Wolverhampton Executive may be more fortunate. proposal to this end, received after the Congress was over, from the Right Hon. Earl Nelson, is given in the Appendix.
