1805. Banks, Sir Joseph, Bart, president of the 

 Royal Society, was the son of William Banks, Esq. 

 of RevesbyAbbey in Lincolnshire, and born there 

 in 1743. He received his education first at Eton, 

 and next at Oxford, but left the university on the 

 death of his father in 1761 ; and two years afterwards 

 made a voyage to Labrador and Newfoundland. 

 In 1768, he and Dr. Solander went with Lieutenant 

 Cook to Otaheite ; in which voyage Mr. Banks 

 narrowly escaped perishing by the frost, on the 

 island of Terra del Fuego. After his return he re- 

 ceived the degree of doctor of laws at Oxford ; and 

 in 1772 undertook avoyage to Iceland and the West- 

 ern Isles of Scotland. In 1778 he received the 

 Order of the Bath, and was elected president of the 

 Royal Society. In 1781 he was created a baronet ; 

 but about two years afterwards his conduct in the 

 Royal Society gave such offence to the scientific 

 members as had nearly produced a schism : this 

 tempest, however, was dispersed, and the president 

 retained his seat without any farther opposition to 

 the end of his life. Sir Joseph, though afflicted for 

 many years with the gout, continued his exertions 

 for the improvement of agriculture and the exten- 

 sion of natural historv to the very last of his long 

 and useful life. He died May 9. 1820. He has some 

 papers in the Philosophical Transactions, and pub- 

 lished besides a tract on the Rust on Wheat.

1805. Dickson, Mr. James, F.L.S. V.P.H.S., of the 

 respectable and long established firm of Messrs. 

 Dickson and Anderson, seedsmen and herbalists in 

 Coven t-garden, London. James Dickson was born 

 at Kirke House in Peebleshire, in 1738, and acquired 

 his first knowledge of gardening in the garden of the 

 Earl of Traquhair. He afterwards improved him- 

 self in the Brompton nursery, then the property of 

 Jefferey ; he was head gardener in several places till 

 1722, when he established the well known seed and 

 herb shop in Covent-garden. Dickson's attention 

 was first drawn to botany when a boy, by hearing 

 one of his playmates enquire of another the name 

 of a plant (Star of the Earth, Plantago Coronopus) 

 which grew near them. Finding the boy able to 

 answer the question he felt an impulse to obtain that 

 kind of knowledge and superiority, and ever after- 

 wards pursued his object with unremitting ardor. 

 By directing his attention to a then neglected branch 

 of botany, the mosses, he established for himself, 

 says Sabine, " an imperishable reputation." He was 

 one of the earliest members both of the Linnasan 

 and Horticultural Societies. (See A Biographical 

 Memoir, in Hort. Trans, v. App. 1.)
