Abstract:
The Society, as it now exists, is the combination of two societies,
one for the investigation of statistics and the study of economic
science, the other for the purpose of making social inquiries, mainly
with a view to a reform of the laws that stand in the way of social
progress.
The earlier of the two societies was established in 1847, the other
a few years later. They were amalgamated in 1851.
I have endeavoured to fit myself for the duties which your kindness
has called upon me to discharge, by a perusal of the transactions
of the society, and it occurs to me that I cannot devote the time
allotted to an opening address in any way more likely to be useful
and interesting than by recalling your attention to the work of the
society, and to some of the things that have happened since it was
founded.
