GOOD TO BE EXPECTED. < 



this part of India with the useful and noble vege- 

 table productions of other parts of the world, for the 

 benefit of the countless poor ; for nothing could 

 make one more happy than to look back, after a 

 long run, on a life spent in doing good to our 

 fellow-creatures. 



Extract of letter from Mr. NIMMO, at Bombay, to Dr. SPRY, 

 Secretary to the Agricultural and Horticultural Society 

 of India, dated Colaba, December 18, 1810. 



I had much pleasure in receiving yours of the 

 25th ultimo, and feel very happy that Lord Auck- 

 land and the Agricultural Society of India have 

 duly appreciated our humble efforts to point out a 

 few of the " agenda," towards improving that most 

 fruitful source of our wealth in India, namely, the 

 vegetable kingdom. It is gratifying at the same 

 time to see the interest taken on your side of India 

 in this matter, so that nothing but good can come 

 of it. I could wish, most cordially wish, we here 

 had possessed but half of your public spirit and 

 spiritedness.
