Excerpt from A Statement of Facts Relative to the Establishment and Progress of the Elgin Botanic Garden, and the Subsequent Disposal of the Same to the State of New-York
The establishment of a Professorship of Botany in Columbia College was justly considered as an evidence of your regard to the general interests of science. As completing your plan of medical education, it has given reputa tion to the college both in Europe and America, and has excited expectations which unfortunately hitherto have in no sort been fulfilled.
Since I have had the honour of an appointment to this Professorship, it has been to me a source of great regret that the want of a Botanical Garden, and an extensive Botanical Library, have prevented that advancement in the inte rests of the institution which might reasonably have been expected.

Excerpt from A Statement of Facts Relative to the Establishment and Progress of the Elgin Botanic Garden, and the Subsequent Disposal of the Same to the State of New-York
Whatever difference of opinion may exist, relative to the'titility of-a botanic garden, as a necessary appendage. To a medical establishment, certain'it is, that the judgment of scientific men has been uniformly concurrent on this subject. The exam-j ple of the schools of medicine, in almost every great city of Eu; rope, is sufliciently conclusive on this head, as scarcely one of them is without an extensive botanic garden; and their practice, it is presumed, must be the result of experience of their utility.
