In a letter from Eng land to The Evening Post, dated June 24, 1845, Mr. Bryant, citing the example of the London Parks, urged forcibly the establishment of a range of parks and public gardens along the central part of the island or elsewhere and afterwards repeatedly discussed and advocated the project in the Post.
