Art. IX. Obituary. 



Died, on September 9. 1832, at Bury St. Edmunds, Mure Hogg, aged 

 58 years, florist and market-gardener in that town. Mr. Hogg's father 

 was a native of Scotland, and settled at Bury St. Edmunds, in the 

 capacity of florist and market-gardener, and for many years rented the 

 ground which, in 1820, a ?ew years after his death, was converted into the 

 botanic garden. In the" house in this garden, his son. Mure Hogg, was 

 born, and continued the occupancy of the house, garden, and business, 

 until 1820, when the premises were let to N. S. Hodson, Esq., who formed 

 them into a subscription botanic garden. Mr. Hogg then removed into a 

 property of his own, with a garden attached ; and here, and on additional 

 ground hired, carried on his business as usual. His remains were carried 

 to the grave by six young gardeners, and his pall supported by six old, 

 ones; and very many old and respectable neighbours and tradesmen 

 followed. The deceased has left a widow, four sons, and a daughter. 

 The widow, and two sons, who have almost reached manhood, will carry 

 on the business. — H. I. 



Died, about the middle of 1832, at the house of his father, at Wands- 

 vi'orth, Surrey, J. Nicolles, for some years past flower-gardener to Roger 

 Pettiward, Esq., of Great Finborough Hall, Suffolk. We are not informed 

 of Mr. NicoUes's age, but, from once seeing him, believe it was about 

 30 years. Mr. Turner, of the botanic garden, Bury St. Edmunds, briefly 

 notices (Vol. VH. p. 4'98.) the garden under Mr. NicoUes's management ; 

 and in Vol. VIII. p. 160. is a communication from Mr. Nicolles himself; 

 and there is also another from him, in the Magazine of Natural History, 

 Vol. IV. p. MO., consisting of a list of 46 species of birds, which he had 

 collected in the neighbourhood of Finborough Hall, and preserved ; and 

 from the same communication we leaim that Mr. Nicolles, at the time of 

 making it, had also preserved some insects, and was then forming a 

 hortus siccus. Mr. Turner, in a letter lying by us, dated April 15. 1832, 

 thus speaks of Mr. Nicolles : — "I have just finished a note of introduction 

 to you for Mr. Nicolles. Poor fellow ! he has completely killed himself 

 by intense study by night and hard work by day. I pity him sincerely : 

 he is every thing I wish for in a friend. He is clevei", he is persevering, 

 and in his little person carries a great deal of knowledge. The garden and 

 houses at Finborough do him great credit ; he took great delight in having 

 them neat, and by almost incessant labour he accomplished his object." —
