^ NOTE. 



C- 



t: 



To meet a wish conveyed to me from several 

 quarters, the present volume is now issued with 

 the view of laying before the general reader, in a 

 more accessible and convenient shape, the Report 

 which I felt it to be my duty to present as a 

 Member of the recent Royal Commission on Agri- 

 cultural Depression. The revision has been mainly 

 f7 verbal, and such as the recasting of its form necessi- 

 ^ tated. The statement of reasons for dissent from 

 '^ the Main Report is now placed in an Appendix.
