 into town to the Horticultural Society again, and after waiting a long time,

 he would " permit our amanuensis to copy the account of the Meetings of the 

 Horticultural Society from the extract suspended in the meeting-room ; 

 (conceiving that, as a Fellow of the Society, we were entitled to make this 

 request under the circumstance of personal absence)," procured the extracts 

 which we have printed in our two former Numbers. 



We shall now state the offensive passage in the " book in question " at 

 length, and add a copy of the Council's letter.
