OFFICIAL REPORT ON THE PROGRESS AND CONDI- 
TION OF oe ROYAL GARDENS AT KEW, DURING 
THE YEAR 1862 
By Sır Wirum J. Hooker, K.H., LL.D., ETC. 
As was anticipated, the number of visitors to the Royal Gardens 
-last year exceeded that of any previous one, being 550,132, or 70,062 
more than in 1861; an increase mainly due to the foreigners - who 
came to see the International Exhibition or who held office there. The 
necessary arrangements having been made to meet the expected throng, 
there was no crowding ; and the cases of i improper conduct were fewer 
than ever, as remarked to me by the police constables. |
