At this meeting Hall said the Secretary had not supplied him with samples
to operate upon, and that he had not been summoned to more than one or
two meetings. He had, therefore, been forced to procure his own samples
and conduct his own experiments . At this meeting Miller proposed the
pess be allowed into meetings> but this suggestion was negatived on
January 12> 1858. Hall then stated he would attend no more meetings
until the press was admitted.
