LIFE OF MILLER. 343 



enjoy*, and to whom his profession is so greatly 

 indebted ; for not only did Miller, by his numer- 

 ous writings, render more easy the previously 

 rugged path of horticulture, but afforded to others 

 the ready means by which further improvement 

 could be effected. With a modesty so often as- 

 sociated with great talent, he laid open to his 

 brother gardeners the knowledge he himself pos- 

 sessed ; and the whole tenor of his labours seemed 

 to say, to one and to all, " Go thou and do like- 

 wise." 



* The author was introduced to Mr. Miller by Mr. Henry 

 Hewett, of the Brompton nursery, (a very worthy man, and a 

 particular friend of Miller's,) about two years before he retired 

 from the Chelsea gardens. The author is, perhaps, the only 

 individual living who was personally acquainted with that 

 distinguished character.
