230 HULL SCIENTIFIC AND FIELD NATURALISTS’ CLUB. 
After the completion of his monumental work, Lepidoptera 
Britannica, in 1829, and having contributed several papers 
to the Entomological Society, he appears to have devoted 
all his time to horticulture, and in a letter to John Denson, 
dated July rst, 1829, we find the following :—‘‘I have given 
up purchasing insects, and shall in future devote my leisure 
to botany and gardening.” 
Haworth was a voluminous writer, and, in addition to 
his papers read before the Linnean, Entomological, and 
Horticultural Societies (of all of which he was a member), he 
contributed no fewer than thirty-one articles to the Philo- 
sophical Magazine between 1823 and “1833. These were 
mostly descriptions of new species of succulent plants from 
South Africa, which Haworth says were ‘‘flourishing in the 
Royal Gardens at Kew, and [were| all sent thither from their 
native wilds by their discoverer, Mr. Bowie, our Gracious 
Sovereign’s most successful collector of succulent plants.” 
In connection with these descriptions Haworth’s early 
training, at the Hull Grammar School, stood him in good 
stead ; they are all written in Latin. 
Amongst his works already not enumerated are :-— 
1. Observations on the Genus Mesembyanthemum, 1794. 
2. Miscellanea Naturalia (adjoined to the first part of Lepidoptera 
Britanicca, but separately paged), 1803. ‘ 
3. The Sixth Volume of Andrews’ Botanist’s Repository, 1803 (? 1804). 
4. Synopsis Plantarum Succulentarum, 1812. 
* 5. Supplementum Plantarum Succulentarum, 1819. 
6. Narcissorum Revisio (adjoined to the last work, but separately 
paged), 1819. 
* 7. Revisiones Plantarum Succulentarum, 1821. 
* 8. Saxifragearum Enumeratio (adjoined to the last work, but separately 
paged), 182r. 
g. Narcissinearum Monographia. 
Haworth’s first attempt in print appears to be a 
‘‘Botanical History of Rhus Toxicodendron,” published 
in the first edition of Dr. Alderson’s Medical Essay on that 
plant, in 1793. 
That his work was well appreciated, not only at home 
but abroad, is proved by the fact that he was elected 
Honorary Member of the Société Royale D’Horticulture 
de Pays Bas, and of the Cesarean Society of Natural 
History at Moscow. These foreign honours were gratuitious 
and unexpected, and, therfore, the more gratifying. A copy 
of the diploma sent to him by the Moscow Society is 
printed in Faulkner’s History of Chelsea, Vol. 2, 1829, p. 13. 
* Nos. 5 and 6 were sold together at 10/6, as also were Nos. 7 and 8.
