By the 2d codicil (dated 7th of March, 1820), he declares that with every feeling of that dutiful homage and humble attention justly due from a loyal subject to a most gracious Sovereign, he gives to his Majesty, for the use of the establishment of the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, all the drawings and sketches of plants that have grown in the said Gardens, and have been made at his expence by Mr. Bauer, and which are now deposited in his custody, deeply impressed with an opinion, which he still continues to hold, and believes to be founded in truth, that the establishment of a Botanic-garden cannot be complete, unless a resident draughtsman be constantly employed in making sketches and finished drawings of all new plants that perfect their flowers or fruits in it: and declares that he long ago determined to fix such a person at Kew, and maintain him at his own expence, and he accordingly engaged Mr. Bauer, whose collection of drawings and sketches he trusts will prove a valuable addition to the important science of Natural History; that he did this under a hope that the truth of his opinion would in due time become manifest, and that the charge of maintaining Mr. Bauer would then be transferred from him, and placed on the establishment
