“It would be necessary, also, to have a library to refer to on all the subjects within the range of mining, engineering, and the different branches of science which we shall have to cultivate” – Nicholas Wood

Inaugural address NEIMME Transactions

“The Society's transactions also exhibit the pleasing fact of contributions of books due to the liberality of individual members, upon the occasional recurrence of which the Council cannot err in relying”

A catalogue of the Books, Maps, &c, possessed by the Institute, should at once be begun, as the prosperous state of your funds ought to encourage a more vigorous action on the part of the Library Committee. These two matters we submit would be best attended to by a librarian or person appointed for the purpose, who would give constant attendance at the Rooms on certain days, and afford any information, to the Members requiring it, touching the position of the Society's property.
