England, the United States, Canada, the Wert Indies, the Colonies, ‘and other places. In order to have a practical outcome from the Centennial Exhibition in America, aud Mr. Mackay's visits to that country and the Wert Indies, he was provided with means to secure a few of such articles (not being expensive) as seemed suitable or de- sirable for colo ‘Where articles were cen that were too costly, Mr. Mackay endeavoured to obtain diagrams, plans, and descriptions of same. The result of this latter enquiry is seen, to some extent, in the illustra. tions accompanying this report, and the scries of illustrated patented articles obtained in Washington, and bound up in Volume 1, of the ‘erica on exhibition at Bowen Park. ‘Vouvae I. is devoted to photographs and descriptions of saw- ling and heary machinery used in California, Canada, and other timber countries. ‘Vouvmx 1fL—Hlustrated and descriptive catalogues of wood working machinery. ‘Vou 1V.—Hlustrated catalogues of agricultural machinery, implementa and tools, including fruit-drying appliances, &., &e. ‘Yourme V.—Dairying appliances. Vouww Vi—Pumping, windmill, blast machinery (for black- smiths, foundries), &., &. ‘Vortas VIT.—Engincering and miscellancous tools, &c. Youvus VIIL—Purniture, &e. Yourme IX.—Printing specimens, &e. Vouvates X., X1., axe XL —Hlustrations of fine and industrial arts from the Cent&nnial. ‘Vourate XTIL—Photographs of English machinery. ‘Tho articles enumerated as follows, and on exhibition at the National Association's Grounds, Bowen Park, hare becn got together ‘adesiro that they may prove suggestive aul instructive to colo- ints, In every cave, there was cousidered to be a recommendation fof some kind before purchasing.—in obvious urefulness, suitability for colonial purposes, durability, weight, strength, cost, &e., &e,4 tis not supposed that all the articles are cither new oF novel, or that they are better or more suitable than any others for similar Hpurposes, seen previoualy in the colonien, Sach articles are simply vnatiainable. Nor have the productions of any one country been luhered to, ‘There are articles from British, American, Canadian, and Colonial makers. Illustrated and priced catalogues were collected from all quarters, suitability and cost being the principal recommen ations in bringing them for inspection. These are now bound up in volumes, classified and indexed as stated. ‘Several articles are anon, and several seodels, that contain mechanieal noveltion, either in the application of power or in their node of construction. Should an effort be made to afford technical jnetruetion in the colony, these articles, it is hoped, will be found ‘useful as affording means of education. "The agricultural appliances wore purchased only after being ween jn use ; and are each considered peculiarly suitable in their clas. "The prices given are auch as it is believed tho articles can be delivered for, in Brisbane, The names of manufacturers, and importers, and their places of business are also given. ‘The collection it wll be aeen, embraces articles from England, the Vnited States, Canada, and several additions have been obtained from Messrs. Smellic and Co., Shaw and Co., Brookes and Foster, Hockinge and Son, MeLean, and Kelly, and Lassitter and Co., of Spdney-all of which aid in making comparison ax to the relative Qualities of various articles—a comparison that could not have been tnade without the aid of the firms mentioned. The colonial ploughs shown are cousidered the best made for the work to be done, The attendants will afford euch other information az may be available. 1.
