Review of the Measures which Have Been Adopted in India for the Improved Culture of Cotton by J. Forbes Royle evaluates the agricultural practices and efforts made to enhance cotton cultivation in India. Royle examines various methods introduced to improve cotton yield, including better irrigation, soil management, and the use of improved seeds. He also discusses the challenges faced by farmers, such as pests and climate conditions, and suggests practical solutions for overcoming them. The work highlights the importance of scientific research and modern techniques in boosting cotton production, which was vital to India's economy during the 19th century.

John Forbes Royle (1798–1858) was a British botanist and materia medica teacher with a fascinating life. After studying under Sangster of Haddington and being inspired by Anthony Todd Thomson to pursue botany, Royle abandoned a military career, joined the East India Company as an assistant surgeon in 1819, and served with the Bengal army. In 1823, he became the Superintendent of the Saharanpur botanical garden, focusing on traditional Hindu medicinal remedies. Returning to England in 1831, he succeeded John Ayrton Paris as a professor at King's College London. His significant contributions include "Illustrations of the Botany and other branches of Natural History of the Himalayan Mountains," advocating for cinchona cultivation in India, and fostering interest in fiber crops.
