          <note>It is assumed that it was Victor Alexander, as secretary of the club, who read out the minutes of the previous meeting.&lt;br/&gt;
Francis E. Pollard appears to have been acting as Secretary in the absence of Victor Alexander at the meeting held 24 March 1937, and to have been the author of its minutes.

remarks, particularly about Fanny Price in Mansfield Park&lt;/p&gt;
