§ 82 President of the Royal Society—It may be unknown t 
some of our readers that Dr. Joseph Hooker has been chosen Pr 
sident of this Society, the first time a botanist has been so honored 
we believe since the time of Sir Joseph Banks. This distinctio 
bestowed upon the chief botanist of Britain by his scientific cot 
peers may be regarded as their protest against the indignities 
which he was subjected by a member of the late administration.
