It has placed agricultural science on an altogether different basis from that 
which it previously occupied, and the institution which gave birth to it has 
served as the prototype for similar institutions throughout the whole civilised 
world. The three men to whom we owe these results—Lawes, Gilbert and 
Warington—devoted their whole lives and energies to the work, and only 
those who are acquainted with the difficulties attendant on co-operation in 
this case can appreciate the devotion to science which was required to master 
these difficulties. All three workers now lie at rest in the same quiet country 
churchyard, their combined work in the cause of scientific agriculture forming 
the most fitting and enduring monument of their labours, for its importance 
becomes every day more and more evident with the development of the super- 
structure which is being raised upon it.
