=== House Notes ===

=== Notes From Elsewhere ===

Admission to the Royal Society of Literature is obtained by a certificate, signed by three members, and an election by ballot. Ordinary members pay three guineas on admission, and two guineas annually, or compound by a payment of twenty guineas. At the meetings of this Society papers are read by learned men, English and foreigners. The Society, however, incurred considerable ridicule by having admitted a certain M. Cosprons, a few years since, to read a paper, as a French savant, under the assumed title of "M. le Duc de Rousillon." The mistake was soon found out, and the "illustrious" soi-disant duke was never asked to read a second paper.<br />
