Apparently not recognising this, Mr 'Bosisto wrote to the Bendigo Advertiser in reference 1 to the' above as follows x—'^ir^-1 observe in your issue of the 27th instant, a notice under the^ heading •A > New Local Industry,' at the dye'works of Messrs Sander and Son, setting forth the new gum oil, togetherr'with a report from Germany on its virtues^ etc; I desire to inform you.that for the fast fifteen years I have described the physical and chemical characters of; every species.pfjtfeeepcolyptus growing in Victoria, besidef'i number of others outsidci over and over again', in medical and scientific journals of Victoria andlGfreaißritain; acd moreover that in m any museums of- Germany, Prance, Italy, Spain, India,, America and Great Britain^are to be, seen nqt only specimens of the eucalypti oils, but many other serviceable .and utilitarian, products from the whole group of Australian eucalypti,'presented, during the past fifteen years, by myself. What appears from the correspondent of Germany is merely language rehabilitated from my own writings. —1 am repectfully yours, Joseph Bosisxo, Richmond, 27th July, 1876.'' The reply td the above letter came promptly and sharply from the new manufacturing firm, who wrbte 1 the' very next day (August 1) to the editor of the same paper.—"Sir,— Your issue of the' 31st" instant contains a letter from Mr Joseph Boeisto, of Richmond, treating upon our correspondence received from Germany, concerning the investigation of two different *orts of oil (eucalypti) forwarded by us to Germany. We are quite at a loss to see the purpose of Mr Bpsisto's letter, and whatever celebrity he may have acquired by his scientific writings about the physical and chemical characters of the eucalypti growing in Victoria, it might be putting too much self confidence in one's self believing that in all parts of the world his writings will be taken notice of. We know that German scientific bodies examine all new remedies offered by science; and then, relying on their own opinions, either approve or reject them. Mow we learn that the second sort of oil (eucalypti) mentioned near the end of our correspondent's letter is a product of Mr Bosißto's, who must, probably, feel uneasy in seemg i it mentioned: as inferior to our jnanufacture. However, Mr Bosisto is no more, able to contend against facts than anybody else, and after having procured a sample of Lis n)»nufacturOj wo tried to dissolve it 'ipJspiriU of wine, and found—quite in aocordftDce with the iaformation received from
