Extract
Besides the programme of. interesting works which we hope to issue to our members as part of the Camden Society Publications, there are two undertakings that specially concern this Society, when we look forward to coming years: the great Bibliography which has been carefully planned and which we hope to carry through by the co-operation of English and American scholars, and the International Historical Congress, which will take place in a: little more than two years' time in London. At the last; Congress in Berlin this Society was represented, and an invitation was given by the British Academy to the members to meet in London in four years' time, and we must as a society do our best to see that the gathering is rendered as successful as possible.
