  • Editorial This Autumn We Have Been Celebrating the Bicentenary of the Birth of Charles Lyell (B
    THE LINNEAN I Editorial This autumn we have been celebrating the bicentenary of the birth of Charles Lyell (b. 14 November 1797) whose greatest contribution to the advancement of science was his Principles of Geology which first appeared during 1830-33 and subsequently went through 13 revisions. Although this work inspired both Darwin and Hooker and furnished Wallace “with the main features of the succession of species in time” - Lye11 could never bring himself to accept “the descent of man from the brutes”. Picture taken by Dr R. Spearman on the occasion ofthe Lyell Bicentenary lecture 31 July 1997. Left to right: G. Prance, W. Stearn CBE. W. Challoner, Jim Secord, S. Berry, M. Claridge, J. Hawkes (two extant PPLs missing. A. Cave & B. Gardiner). Lyell entered the great debate on man’s origins in 1863 with his book entitled Geological Evidences a5 to the Antiquity of Man, coincidentally the same year that T. H. Huxley published his work on the Zoological Evidence as to Man’s Place in Nature. Huxley’s oook brought him notoriety whereas Darwin was somewhat distressed to find that Lyell’s book gave him no stronger support of the mutability of species than a sentence beginning “If it should be rendered highly probable that species change by variation and natural selection....”. Darwin further confided ( 1863) to Hooker 2 THE LINNEAN “I must say how much disappointed I am that he hasn’t spoken out on species, still less on man.. ... The whole certainly struck me as a compilation, but of the highest quality, for when possible the facts have been verified on the spot, making it almost an original work.

  • William Borrer of Henfield, Botanist and Horticuituraiist, 1781-18621
    Watsonia, 10 55-60 (1974). 55 William Borrer of Henfield, botanist and horticuIturaIist, 1781-1862 1 H. C. P. SMAlL 6 Lansdowne Close, Worthing, Sussex ABSTRACT A short account is provided of the life of WiIIiam Borrer and of his botanical and horticultural activities. The first half of the 19th century was a truly great period in English botany. In 1814 Sir J. E. Smith completed his monumental English Botany (usually credited to Sowerby by reason of the plates). H. C. Watson approached the subject from a topographical basis and produced his Geographical Distribution of British Plants in 1832. C. C. Babington's Manual of British Botany came out in 1843 and G. Bentham's Handbook of the British Flora, the forerunner of our old friend 'Bentham and Hooker', in 1858. In all these and many other works of the period we find frequent acknowledgments to the records and information provided by William Borrer of Henfield. Borrer was indeed not only the greatest Sussex botanist but also undoubtedly one of the leading botanists of his day. New discoveries were constantly referred to him, often only to find that he had already recorded the plant himself some years before, and his advice was frequently sought on the identification and arrangement of critical species. Nevertheless his name is little known outside botanical circles, and even there it is by no means as familiar as it should be. His retiring character has probably contributed as much as anything to his undeserved obscurity. He wrote no books of his own but was a frequent contributor to the botanical journals and regularly corresponded with such men as Sir Joseph Banks, Dawson Turner, Sir William Jackson Hooker, Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker and Charles Cardale Babington, all of whom esteemed him for his wide knowledge and reliable observation.

The author would be very pleased to learn of any information which supplements its content. A Social and Biographical History of British and Irish Field-bryologists is also available on-line at http://britishbryologicalsociety.org.uk/ Botanical career Turner introduced himself in 1802 to reading botanists with a two-volume Synopsis of British Fuci, followed in 1804 by an Irish Moss Flora (Muscologia Hibernicae Spicilegium, the original drawings for which are at the Natural History Museum in London), and the two-volume Botanist’s Guide through England and Wales (with Lewis Weston Dillwyn) in 1805. He also contributed to Smith and Sowerby’s English Botany (1790-1814, 36 volumes), and wrote nine articles for Annals of Botany and the Transactions of the Linnaean Society between 1800 and 1808. Further publications followed, but the first few years of the 19th century were Turner’s golden botanical period. Indeed, he had lost interest in botany altogether by about 1820, when he donated his herbarium to his son-in-law William Jackson Hooker. Turner’s herbarium is at Kew, together with his incomplete manuscript Flora Norfolciensis, two volumes of botanical memoranda, drawings of algae, and photocopies of his correspondence with William Borrer. Norwich Museum holds algae and journals that belonged to him. Trinity College, Cambridge has 82 volumes of his letters, and there are also letters of his at the British Library, Linnaean Society, and Liverpool and Norwich Public Libraries.

  • Textiles, Religion and Medicines: William Wilson, a Case Study
    The influence of social background on the emergence of British field-botanists in the 17-19th centuries: William Wilson, a case study. by Mark Lawley Introduction William Wilson (1799-1871) of Warrington, Lancashire (now Cheshire) was Britain’s leading bryologist in the mid-19th century, and chronologically links botanical all- rounders of the early 19th century (naturalists like Dawson Turner, William Jackson Hooker and Thomas Taylor) with leading British bryologists of subsequent generations, such as Robert Braithwaite, Hugh Dixon and Symers Macvicar. Wilson added many species to Britain and Ireland’s moss-flora, compiled Bryologia Britannica (1855), and planned but did not live to complete a second edition that would have included an additional hundred species discovered in Britain between 1855 and 1870. Why research Wilson’s background? What relevance can his background possibly have to his bryological career? Does study of Wilson’s background and upbringing help us to understand why he became a top-class field-bryologist? This is the old debate about “Nature versus Nurture”. In trying to understand why a person becomes a naturalist, one inevitably wonders whether he or she was “born” to natural history and merely applied inherited traits in order to achieve their “calling”, or whether alternatively (or additionally) that individual took up natural history because of ways in which their social and cultural environment influenced their personal interests and development of their personality. I contend that we are born with intelligence (which is attributable to nature), and develop our intellect as a consequence of how we are nurtured, so that the cultural environment of our formative years influences whether we become naturalists.

  • Obituary – Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker
    Obituary—Sir Joseph Da/ton Hooker. 47 OBITUAET. SIR JOSEPH DALTON HOOKER, O.M., G.C.S.I., M.D., D.C.L., LL.D., F.K.S., F.G.S., ETC. BORN JUNE 30, 1817. DIED DECEMBER 10, 1911. AT the advanced age of 94 there has passed away at his home, The Camp, Sunningdale, in Berkshire, the most eminent of British botanists. By extended observation in all quarters of the globe and prolonged research he threw light on many difficult problems in natural history, aiding and supporting Darwin and Lyell on the origin of species, and on the causes which have influenced the geographical distribution of plants and the production of insular floras. He was the second son of Sir William Jackson Hooker, who, born at Norwich, married the eldest daughter of Dawson Turner, F.R.S., botanist, antiquary, and also banker, of Great Yarmouth. Other daughters of Turner were married respectively to Sir Francis Palgrave, the Rev. John Gunn (Eector of Irstead, Norfolk), Bishop Jacobson of Chester, and T. Brightwen of Yarmouth. Having independent means Sir William Hooker settled at first at Halesworth in Suffolk, where his son Joseph was born. Afterwards he removed to Glasgow on being appointed Professor of Botany in the University, and subsequently he became Director of the Royal Gardens at Kew. J. D. Hooker was educated at the High School and University at Glasgow, where lie qualified as M.D. in 1839. He inherited his father's tastes for Natural History, and Botany in particular, and was fortunate in being appointed assistant-surgeon and naturalist on board H.M.S.

    WILLIAM JACKSON HOOKER (1785-1865) Mark Lawley email: [email protected] This is one in a series of articles about prominent British and Irish field-bryologists of the past. The author would be very pleased to learn of any information which supplements its content. A Social and Biographical History of British and Irish Field-bryologists is also available on-line at http://britishbryologicalsociety.org.uk/ Bryological career Hooker’s pivotal importance in the history of British and Irish bryology lies in his influence on other botanists, rather than in the bryophytes that he discovered himself. Nevertheless, he was a good field-bryologist, and found, for example, Buxbaumia aphylla new to Britain in 1805, Andreaea nivalis on Ben Nevis in 1808, and Grimmia unicolor in Glen Clova, Angus in the early 19th century. He wrote British Jungermanniae (1812-16) and Muscologia Britannica with Thomas Taylor (1818), as well as the account of bryophytes in the fifth volume of Sir James Edward Smith’s The English Flora which was published after Smith’s death. Hooker also stimulated the botanical interests of many of his students at Glasgow University, where he was regius professor of botany from 1820 until 1841, after which he became director of Kew Gardens in London. His herbarium, manuscripts and letters are at Kew, with further letters at the Natural History Museum and the Linnaean Society in London. Family background and biography The Hookers lie centrally placed in a remarkable network of families and individuals who were nationally prominent in numerous walks of life, including natural history. William Jackson Hooker was born on July 6th, 1785 in Magdalen Street, Norwich, the second of two children born to Joseph Hooker (1754-1845), wool-stapler of Exeter and then Norwich.

It is hoped that such information will form a framework which will help interpret their surviving correspondence, specimens and records. In some cases it will also give an insight into the influences on their early lives and the family constraints within which they worked and collected. We have found that published family data concerning individuals rarely contain justification for dates and relationships and not infrequently contain errors which are then perpetuated. The emphasis in Natstand family documents will be on providing references to primary sources, whenever possible, which will be backed-up with transcriptions. Although a Natstand biography page will always carry a link to a family document, in many cases these documents will be presented without any further biographical material. We anticipate that this will occur if the person is particularly well known or is someone we are actively researching or have only a peripheral interest in. The following conventions are used: Any persons in the family tree with known natural history associations will be indicated in red type. Any relationships will be to the root naturalist unless otherwise stated. Dates are presented Year – Month – Day e.g.
