402 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. 
edly a councilor and the treasurer at the time of his death) 
contain several of his papers. His first published paper, 
‘On Turnsole,” appeared in 1850; his latest, on the ‘ Coun- 
tess Chinchon and the Cinchona Genus,” appeared, since his 
death, in “The Academy” of the 3d of April. An ardent 
botanist and lover of plants, he traveled much in the south of 
Europe, accompanied Dr. Hooker in his explorations of Leb- 
anon, and took an active interest especially in the introduction 
of officinal plants and in ornamental cultivation. With one 
villa-garden on the shores of the Mediterranean — that of his 
brother at Mortola—his memory to us is indelibly associated. 
Although remarkably self-reliant, Mr. Hanbury was the oppo- 
site of self-asserting or ambitious; but his sterling worth was 
soon recognized by the principal learned societies and associa- 
tions. He was early chosen into the Royal Society and served 
upon its council in 1873. Born and educated in the Society 
of Friends, he remained a devout and attached member of it, 
while the graces and the goodness of his character endeared 
him to all who knew him. With the sense of personal loss 
his scientific comrades mingle deep regrets that a career of 
unusual usefulness and promise is cut short, and that in a line 
in which, it is to be feared, he leaves no successor. Hanburia 
Mevwvicana, a striking Cucurbitaceous genus, commemorated 
his services to botany.
