cases, the sweets are of very mixed character, care
should be taken to insure that a specimen at least of
each kind be contained in each division of the sample,
otherwise a certificate might be furnished, and no
corresponding variety be found in the sample left
with the vendor. On account of the trouble of some
character of the analysis of very mixed sweets, they
should be reckoned as first-class analyses. Thus, in
No. 203, only one variety contained smalt or blue
glass, and only one specimen of this one variety.
A very good sample of Mixed Pickles concludes
the articles, fifty-six in number, which I have analysed
this quarter. On the whole there is undoubted
progress.
I am, Gentlemen,
Ycurs faithfully,
