Abstract

With respect to raw materials, we shall most likely have, from all quarters of the globe, specimens of animal and vegetable life, as well as of minerals,—samples of what is in the earth and what is produced on the earth. In the class of animal substances, we shall probably have enormous elephants’ tusks from Africa and Asia; leather from Morocco and Russia; Beaver from Baffin’s Bay; the wools of Australia, of Yorkshire, and of Thibet; silk from Asia and from Europe; and furs from the Esquimaux. As the evidence of what we may expect from the suggested exposition, I may state that the Court of Directors of the East India Company intend to exhibit the best of everything that India can produce; and we shall therefore probably obtain, by this means, the best practical notion of the value of our East Indian possessions.

消耗的叙述
关于原材料,我们很可能会从全球各地获得动物和植物的标本,以及矿物的标本——地球上和地球上生产的东西的样本。在动物物质的类别中,我们可能会有来自非洲和亚洲的巨大大象象牙;摩洛哥和俄罗斯的皮革;巴芬湾的海狸;澳大利亚、约克郡和蒂贝的羊毛;亚洲和欧洲的丝绸;和爱斯基摩的毛皮。作为我们对所建议的博览会的期望的证据,我可以声明,东印度公司董事会打算展示印度能够生产的最好的东西;因此,通过这种方式,我们可能会获得关于我们东印度财产价值的最佳实用概念。(55)
