Grillion's Club: A Chronicle, 1812-1913 (Classic Reprint) - Tapa dura

Excerpt from Grillion's Club: A Chronicle, 1812-1913

T the dinner on the 1oth February 1913 the Secretaries reported that the Archives of the Club, so far as related to the period prior to 1877, had disappeared, and they were requested to endeavour to trace and recover them, with a view to the preparation of some suitable record to commemorate the Centenary of the Club.

The Secretaries have now to report that, after prolonged inquiries, the documents in question have been recovered.

They consist of two bound volumes of miscellaneous papers extend ing over the years from 1812 to 1879, a volume containing the accounts of the Club from 1822 to 1832, and nine volumes in which the attendances at dinner are recorded from the 6th March 1816 to the 16th April 1877, besides other documents of less consequence. The Secretaries were already in possession of the Dinner Books from 1877 to the present date, and of the Club accounts from 1842.

The Secretaries think that they will be carrying out the wishes of the Club if they present a brief history of the Club from its foundation and a complete list of the Members, with notes of the principal Offices, Honours, and Distinctions held by them.
