![£3990 from subscriptions in the foregoing estimate of income and expenditure, the estimated annual balance of £198 becomes £1983. We cannot obtain further information as to the financial practicability of the scheme until we know exactly which societies have definitely decided to join the proposed Royal Society. Your Committee suggest that every member of the societies which amalgamate shall have the option of joining the New Society, subject to the rules of the said Society, without entrance fee, and that as far as possible members of these societies shall retain their present privileges in the New Society. For example, any Fellow of the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society who has compounded for his subscription will be entitled to join the Royal Society of Medicine as a Fellow without further payment of any kind, and a member of any society who has compounded for his subscription will be entitled to join the correspond- ing section of the Royal Society of Medicine without further payment. Your Committee consider that the following suggestions might be embodied in a scheme for the formation of the New Society, namely, that: 1. The New Society shall be called the Royal Society of Medicine [or the Royal Academy of Medicine, according to the vote of the societies concerned.] 2. All monies, books, premises, and other properties belonging to any of the societies which join the proposed union shall become the property of the New Society, and shall be vested in the Fellows. ~~ 3. The Society shall be housed at 20, Hanover Square. Increased accommodation, if required, can be obtained by extending the premises, and by the absorption of certain rooms now occxipied by tenants of the Eoyal Medical and Chirurgical Society.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21471605_0116.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
