Excerpt from Notes of a Naturalist in the Nile Valley and Malta: A Narrative of Exploration and Research in Connection With the Natural History, Geology, and Archæology of the Lower Nile and Maltese Islands I am well aware that such doctrines can have no advocates among the liberally educated portion of the profession or public generally; while, unquestionably, there are many who would take no exception to one's leisure hours being spent in idleness or in pursuit of pleasure. To individuals given to this mode of computing the business excellence of others, I desire to apologize for having spent a certain portion of my leisure time in the cultivation of the natural sciences; at the same time reminding them of the memorable words of Cicero, when offering an excuse for having devot'd an occasional leisure hour to the study of elegant literature - words pertinent to these remarks, as they are hallowed to me from other associations than any referring to my own insignificant labours, - "Quare quis tandem me reprehendat, aut quia mihi jure succenseat, si, quantum ceteris ad suas res obeundas, quantum ad festos dies ludorum celebrandos, quantum ad alias voluptates, et ad ipsam requiem animi et corporis conceditur temporurm; quantum alii tribuunt tempestivis con-viviis; quantum denique alese, quantum pike; tantum mihi egoraet ad hæc studia recolenda sumsero."

Excerpt from Cultivation and Diseases of Fruit Trees in the Maltese Islands The cultivation of fruit trees represents a more advanced stage of civilization than the mere cultivation of field crops, and could be taken up only by a people which has settled down and occupied the land for good, and has given up definitely its original nomadic habits. Half-savage tribes with ill-defined ideas of property, and therefore with no notion of continuity, may have their herds of domestic animals, and may grow field crops or even such perennials, as the banana, which are likely to yield an early and abundant food, but have no fruit groves or orchards, and rely chiefly on the produce of the trees of their native forests. Hence the idea of property or continuity is the first condition for the cultivation of fruit trees. Land held in common, belongs to nobody, and it requires an altruism altogether beyond human nature for the individual to go to the trouble of planting trees, the fruit of which others will gather who have no connection with the planter and no natural claim on the results of his labour. In the same manner the farmer who holds his land on short lease, - and our short lease is based on a brief period of a four years course of rotation, - can have no right of property on the fruits of his labour after the expiration of the term of lease, and if he improves the land by planting fruit trees, his rent is probably increased just when the trees are coming to fruit so that he is either ousted out of his land by some other farmer who is willing to pay more rent for improvements made by others, or he has to submit to pay the increase of rent demanded from him.
