AN OLD TOUE AND A NEW GENEKATION 197 



itself, for, as my cousin pointed out, sixty-two years before, 

 in 1814, a Lyell, a Hooker, and a Miss Dawson Turner with 

 her parents and a younger sister had made a tour together 

 through Normandy to France, and on that occasion too, the 

 Lyell, afterwards Sir Charles Lyell, the distinguished geologist, 

 kept the accounts for the party. A diary written by the 

 younger ladies of the party, Maria and Elizabeth Dawson 

 Turner, with many beautiful sketches of the churches seen 

 on the way to Paris, still exists, an interesting record of a 

 tour that had its part in Dr. Hooker's family history. For 

 the Hooker of the earlier journey was William, later Sir 

 William Hooker, Sir Joseph's father ; and Maria Dawson 

 Turner, the older of the two sisters, was later to become Sir 

 William's wife and the mother of Sir Joseph. The fifteen- 

 year-old Elizabeth was the future Lady Palgrave, wife of 

 Sir Francis Palgrave. 1
