Remarks by the Editor. 
The official documents from which the materials of the preceding account have 
been taken, were furnished to us by the kindness and liberality of the functionary, 
to whose portfolio they belong, under the authority of Government. Our readers 
will on referring to the preceding numbers of the Gleanings, from the first estab- 
lishment of the work, not fail to discover many other occasions on which we have 
been equally indebted to official encouragement and patronage. We take the present 
occasion to make our acknowledgements for this and the other favours of the 
kind we have received ; and we venture to express our hope, that the present valu- 
able and interesting contribution may be followed by many others — and that 
our pa-^es may be deemed worthy of receiving some of the numerous valuable 
documents (connected with general science) which it is well known are to be 
found in the many public offices at this presidency. To rescue such papers from the 
dust and cobwebs, no less than from the oblivion in which they are immersed, or 
rather from the total destruction which the depredations of insects, supposing the 
climate to spare them, threaten, at no very distant period, would certainly be one of 
the most useful objects to which our work could be applied. Nor are we insen- 
sible of the value which our miscellany would acquire, particularly in Europe, f ront 
being made the depository of so much valuable information, information, which 
unpublished, is lost altogether to the public ; while often, iroiu its very nature, it 
can scarcely be conceived to be in any way useful even to the Government.
