He was educated primarily at St. John, N.B. studied law, and was called to the Bar in 1830. "He was a man of many parts and shone in other spheres than the law." Perley was appointed as emigrant agent for the province and, in 1855, was appointed a fishery commissioner to enforce the Canadian-American Reciprocity Treaty. He died after an illness on board the HMS Desperate near Labrador while engaged in duties associated with this post. New Brunswick Society, for the Encouragement of Agriculture, Home Manufactures and Commerce. James Robb (1815-1861) was a educator and scientist, was concerned about the crisis resulting from the repeal of the imperial timber duties and, in 1849, of the Navigation Acts, and recognized that too great a dependence on this single extractive industry had been responsible for a marked neglect of agriculture and domestic manufactures. The province was consequently vulnerable to sudden and devastating fluctuations in the imperial market. To investigate how these circumstances might be offset, the government engaged a British agricultural scientist, J. F. W. Johnston, whom Robb accompanied as guide and adviser on a 2,000-mile journey over the province; to Johnston’s 1850 report he contributed an important geological map which represented an advance over the work of his contemporary, Abraham Gesner, New Brunswick’s provincial geologist. Believing that Johnston’s report did not give a fair estimate of agricultural possibilities, Robb took a leading part in forming the New Brunswick Society for the Encouragement of Agriculture, Home Manufactures, and Commerce; he became the first president in 1850, and then for some years its corresponding secretary. He encouraged farmers all over the province, disseminating accurate scientific information through the society’s publications and himself contributing several important papers, including one on manures indicative of a thorough acquaintance with the advanced scientific practices of other countries. He believed farming to be the true foundation of civil society, but he also urged the diversification of industry to render New Brunswick more nearly self-sufficient. (DCB Vol. IX) 14. Fulton, R.
