Second Progress Report of the Royal Commission on Vegetable Products.
To His Excellency Sir Henry Brougham Loch, Knight Commander of the Most Honorable Order of the Bath, Governor and Commander-in-Chief in and over the Colony of Victoria and its Dependencies, &c., &c.
May it Please Your Excellency:
In continuation of the Report We had the honour to lay before you on the l6th of February last, we now beg to submit to you the Second Part of the Minutes of Evidence which has been given before us since that date.
We have followed out the plan previously suggested, and have distributed many thousands of copies of the First Part among the Members of the Agricultural, Horticultural, and other similar Societies in the Colony; and have, in return, received abundant proof of the interest our inquiry has awakened amongst agriculturalists.
The information gathered in the Minutes of Evidence now submitted to your Excellency is of an eminently
page iv
practical character, and we propose at once to issue it in a similar manner, with the full belief that good will result.
