3. Visitors. 



The number of visitors to the Gardens during the year 

 1840 was 141,009, of whom 49,320 were privileged, and 

 91,689 unprivileged. In the former there is a decrease of 

 9,029, and in the latter of 8,394, as compared with the 

 visitors belonging to their respective classes in 1839; a 

 decrease which it is impossible to account for otherwise 

 than upon the principle of that fluctuation which is inse- 

 parably incident to objects of public curiosity.

PUBLICATION.

 ing their thanks to the Committees of Audit, Finance 

 and Publication, for the patience, zeal and ability which
