set forth. A copy of this circular was sent with each sched- 
ule, and each was also accompanied by a special letter. It 
was scarcely hoped that any great results would accrue im- 
mediately from this attempt, and so the result has proven; yet 
it can be stated that the exhibits already received and defi- 
nitely promised fully repay all the expenses and trouble in- 
volved in the attempt. Your Curator is moreover convinced 
that the attempt will eventually result in a complete success. 
The expense and trouble involved in getting up such elabo- 
rate industrial exhibits as our circular contemplates is very 
considerable, and apt to deter many concerns, even though 
well-disposed toward our undertaking. When, however, a 
number of such exhibits shall have been placed in position, the 
plan will, I am convinced, so commend itself to others that 
they will be more than ready to become represented in it. I 
will be necessary for this object to be pressed unremittingly, 
one effort to be followed up by another, until such a measure 
of success shall have been attained as to become the means of 
itself advancing the undertaking. The results thus far at- 
tained in this direction are as follows: 
Mr. Edward Kemp and his Smyrna agents, Messrs. Alfred 
A. Keun & Co., have presented a set of specimens, imple- 
ments and photographs, illustrative of the opium industry in 
Turkey. 
The Paddock & Fowler Co., of this city, have presented a 
set of photographs illustrative of fig-packing in Smyrna. 
Arrangements have been made for the following additional 
exhibits : 
Mr. Edward Kemp and his agent at Grasse, M. A. Chiris, 
have promised an exhibit of the perfume industry at Grasse. 
Messrs. Gilpin, Langdon & Co., of Baltimore, have prom- 
ised an exhibit illustrating the principles of the standardiza- 
tion of drugs on the basis of their percentage of active con- 
stituents. 
Messrs. F. H. Leggett & Co., of this city, have partly 
promised exhibits illustrative of the olive and nutmeg indus- 
tries.
