these qualities and not from lack of capital or 

 want of sun. 



In conclusion, we would stronglj urge the 

 importance of this movement of tobacco growing 

 in the United Kingdom on the attention of all 

 who are interested in our agricultural welfare. 



Surely there is enough of the old English 

 spirit left in us to will and to do something for 

 our own relief ! Surely we are not content to 

 utter the modern cry for emigration — that 

 fashionable and gilded way out of all difficulties 

 — and placidly to sit down and see England's 

 best sons turning their energies and their capital 

 into foreign countries, while there is a chance of 

 retaining those energies and that capital at 

 home and of turning them to as good account as 

 in the roughness of exile ! 



Should we not rather unite in a manly effort 

 to ameliorate our condition ? 



It is difficult to conceive how, as long as there 

 remains a chance of success, any stone can be 

 left unturned. 



All honour to those men who, in the face of 

 public opinion, and in spite of difficulty and 

 novelty, set their minds to become acquainted 

 with and overcome the obstacles to any im- 

 portant project.
