edges of the walks. To place any vases on the turf, either beside the seats there, 

 or by themselves, would be altogether inartistical, and greatly interfere with 

 the effect of the trees and shrubs. It is earnestly entreated, therefore, that 

 nothing of this kind may be done. If any one should be desirous of pre- 

 senting statues to the Arboretum, the only situations in which they can be 

 placed are those pointed out for the vases, and for which they may be sub- 

 stituted, with the exception only of the centres of the two circles, in one of 

 which, viz. that which forms the radiating centre of the walks, a statue of 

 the liberal and benevolent founder ought to be placed, as«shown in fig. 56. in 

 p. 537. ; in the other there is a figure of the Florentine boar. 



In the public room in the curator's lodge a blank book should be kept, in 

 which strangers who visit the Arboretum should be invited to write their 

 names, with any remarks which may occur to them, especially with reference 

 to the order in which the Arboretum is kept, and the degree in which these 

 instructions for management, or any others that may be given by Mr. Strutt 

 or the committee of management appointed by the corporation, may appear 

 to have been attended to. I also earnestly request the public press of Derby 

 to examine the garden from time to time, and to report on its condition, and 

 on the manner in which these instructions have been complied with by the 

 corporation of Derby and the curator of the garden. 



The Derby Arboretum was assigned over to trustees by Mr. Strutt, on the 

 16th of September, 1840; and Mr. Strutt's Address to the Town Council of 

 Derby, and the ceremonies which passed on that occasion, and on the suc- 

 ceeding days, will be found in the Derby newspapers of that week, and in 

 the Gardener^s Magazine for November.
