CAMPBELL, without aid or assistance from any one, and 
recommended that the framer of the papers in question 
should be Secretary of the British Guiana Agricultural 
and Commercial Society. In reply the Governor said 
the rules appeared to him to be quite unobjectionable, 
and Mr. Campbell was likely to prove highly useful in 
giving practical effect to them as corresponding Secre- 
tary. His Excellency had long been desirous of seeing 
a Museum, Reading Room, Library, and Hall for public 
amusements established in Georgetown, and recom- 
mended that an early meeting of influential persons 
should take place, when he would be happy to inscribe 
his name as one of the Association. The result was the 
meeting of the 18th of March 1844, at which it was 
resolved that the subscribers there present should consti- 
tute a Society, to be denominated the Agricultural and 
Commercial Society of British Guiana.
