Abstract
IN May 1934 the Warburg Society was formed with the object of establishing the Warburg Institute, formerly of Hamburg, in England. The first annual report since this movement took place shows that the transference has been successfully accomplished, and that in its new rooms in Thames House, London, the Institute has been able to resume most of its old activities and to feel its way towards new ones. The Institute has three links with the public—its library, its series of lectures, and its publications. The transference of the first was completed on June 28, 1934, and since then the number of serious and research readers has steadily increased. Several lecture courses on various aspects of the history of art were given by English, German and French scholars, including a three-weeks' course on palæography by Prof. R. Salomon of Hamburg. The report makes grateful acknowledgment of the help given by English patrons.
