18 .MEMOIR OF DANIEL HANBURY. 



In addition to his other better known distinctions, he 

 could claim an alphabet of scientific titles, and he was 

 Honorary Member or Correspondent of various learned 

 societies ; while the University of Munich made him an 

 Honorary Doctor of Medicine. 



Let us turn now to some more personal traits of 

 character apart from immediate scientific work. 

 Friends An old and beautiful adage says, " Tell me with whom 

 pendents, thou goest, and I will tell thee what thou doest." Of 

 this, no man was ever a more striking example than 

 Daniel Hanbury. He did not affect the society of his 

 brother pharmacists, but the savant, speaking whatever 

 language, who could throw light on his cherished botani- 

 cal researches, was welcomed as a brother. He has left 

 behind him a voluminous correspondence, absolutely de- 

 voted to scientific subjects, and unrelieved by a solitary 

 domestic detail. It is matter of regret that he allowed 

 his fancy so little play, and that his sympathies were too 

 severely restricted in their range. We must take him as 

 he was, and as he meant to be ; and recollect that he 

 adhered to the motto he himself transcribed from 

 Fourcroy, " II faut que chacun ne fasse que ce qu'il sait 

 faire." 



Chief among his companions was Jonathan Pereira, 

 whose loss was mourned in 1853 by universal Pharmacy. 

 Hanbury paid him the sincere flattery of imitation ; the 

 mechanism of his papers was directly copied from the 

 object of his admiration. 



With him may be associated Nicolas Jean Baptiste 

 Guibourt, the dry little lecturer in the Rue d'Arbalete, 

 who wrote learned books and had Materia Medica at 

 his fingers' ends. 



Next may be mentioned Senor Joaquim Correa de
