Excerpt from New-York Historical Society Circular to Members, 1864No previous year of the Society's history bears a more honorable or gratifying record of progress and prosperity. It is reaping the fruits of a steadfast adherence to a policy and system of management long since determined on in this institution, and rigidly carried out. A fundamental principle of this policy is, to incur no debts. The Society at this time has no debt, and no outstanding bills whatever, and closed the year with a balance of (seventeen hundred and sixty - two dollars) in the Treasury. A portion of this balance belongs, by previous appropriation, to the Library account, but there is no debt or outstanding obligation to reduce it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
