Dublin Society's Weekly Observations
A record in the Cambridge Univ. cat. indicates that only one volume was published, and that the individual components appeared in 52 numbers in Saunder's Newsletter, 4 Jan. 1737-4 Apr. 1738; it gives an imprint date of 1739, and the short title: Dublin Society's Weekly Observations.
A record in the
Univ. Chicago cat. indicates that this is a collection of 52 letters, dated Jan. 4, 1736/7 through April 4, 1738, originally printed in Dublin newspapers; it also gives an imprint date of 1756, and the longer title: Dublin Society's Weekly Observations: for the advancement of agriculture and manufactures.
Another record in the Univ. Chicago cat. indicates that no parts were issued Jul.-Sept. 1737; no more published.

Proceedings of the Royal Dublin Society
Scudder #86b gives the numbering as Vol. 1-111, 1764-75, evidently meaning 1764-1875.
A record in the Trinity Coll. Dublin cat. gives the title as Proceedings of the Royal Dublin Society with holdings for 1803 - 1859 (Vol.40 - Vol.95). Since the Royal designation was not granted the Society until 1820, it seems likely that the title of this journal prior to 1820 was Proceedings of the Dublin Society. We have not been able to find a library supplying a catalogue record for the complete run of this journal.
