OF A 



HORTICULTURAL TOUR, 



Sfc. SfC. 



Aug. 1. 1817. — W e sailed from Leith on the after- 

 noon of the 1st of August, in the Czar, one of those 

 elegant and commodious vessels which ply between that port 

 and London. We made a prosperous voyage, having 

 entered the Thames in little more than four days. 



London. 



At the metropolis we spent two or three days, perhaps 

 not unprofitably ; for, though all of us had previously re- 

 sided for some time there, we now examined with increa- 

 sed interest the horticultural productions with which its 

 market is supplied., in order that we might compare them, 

 as to quantity and quality, with those we should witness 

 in the foreign cities we were about to -visit.
