224 JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



The above will perhaps be enough to give a rough sketch of the 

 scientific habits of my father.* 



I cannot do better than conclude with my uncle's words at the end 

 of his m.emoir: "When a good man dies the world does not cease 

 to benefit from those labours of love which he undertook for his fellow- 

 men. Though personally removed from them his example remains ; 

 his voice, too, is still heard in the lessons left to be handed down 

 to those who come after him. The influences of Professor Henslow's 

 teaching have been felt in other places than those in which he himself 

 taught; they have borne fruit far beyond the obscure neighbourhood 

 in which he first sowed the good seed; and who shall say to what 

 further results they may not grow in years to come, bringing honour 

 to his memory, and what is far more, glory to God? ' A word spoken 

 in due season how good is it ! ' " 



* A full account of his life will be found in the Memoir of the Rev. John 

 Stevens Henslow, M.A., dc, by Rev. Leonard Jenyns (1862).
