THE LIFE AND LETTERS OF 



SIR JOSEPH DALTON HOOKER, 



O.M., G.C.S.I., F.R.S. 



By LEONARD HUXLEY. 



Based on material collected and arranged by LADY HOOKER. 



The long life of Sir Joseph Hooker, which began exactly one 

 hundred years ago, covers the whole of the scientific renaissance. 

 ; Pre-eminent in botany, his name will always be associated with the 

 j making of Kew; but as Traveller and Explorer he was hardly less 

 eminent, whether in the Antarctic, the Himalayas, or the Atlas. 

 The history of his scientific career is also the history of many 

 friendships, revealed in his unceasing correspondence, most of all 

 with Charles Darwin, for he was Darwin's confidant, helper, and 

 critic for fifteen years before the ' Origin ' appeared.
