THE BAXKSIAN BOTaNIST-LIBRAEIANS.

There is at the Linnean Society, presented by the subscribers, 1st 
December, 1885, an oil painting by H. W. Pickersgill, K.A. Half 
length, seated at a table, holding his eyeglass in his left hand, facing 
spectator. Kew has a line-engraving by C. Fox, after this painting. 
There is a “ portrait ” at British Museum (Natural History). 
At the Botanic Gardens, Sydney, is a copy of the Maguire lithograph 
(Nor^vich Series), date about 1850. (See p. 101 ). 
AVe are thus acquainted with the personal appearance of this great 
man. Mr. .Justen,* the eminent bookseller (he was the proprietor of 
Dulau & Co.), of Soho Square, whose place of business was but a few 
doors away from Banks’ house, bequeathed to Brown, told me that 
he knew him well, and often had business dealings with him. He 
was a little, spare man, active in his movements, who always dressed 
in black, often dingy black. He was very reserved, and used to escape 
into his house if he imagined that a stranger desired to speak to him. 
This not from any unkindness of spirit, but from a feeling of shyness 
and a desire to conserve his time that never left him. 
Other bibhographical references to this great man will be found in 
Proc. Linn. Soc., 1859, xxiv (shortly after his death). See also Pritzel’s- 
“ Thesaurus Literaturse Botanicae,” p. 43; Baillon’s “ Dictionnaire de 
Botanique ” (1876-92), i, -501 ; Royal Society “ Catalogue of Scientific 
Papers,” i, 660, vii, 279; The Times, quoted in the Cottage- 
Gardener, XX, 176; “ Ilonplandia,” .Jahrgang au, 223 (1858); Pro- 
ceedings of the Royal Society, ix, 527 ; Proceedings of the Royal 
Geographical Society, *iii, 237 ; ” Robert Brown : son Election a 
la place d’Associe Etranger de ITnstitut de France” (Flore des Serres. 
XX, 32, 1874), the Eulogy signed “A.J.”; Dictionary of National 
Biography vii, 27 ; Britten and Boulger, 25. 
The genus Brunonia, Smith, is named in honour of Brown, as has- 
already been indicated. Very many species of Australian plants were 
also called after this eminent man. 
'•’’■John Bindley (1799-1865), the celebrated botanist, was assistant- 
librarian (under Brown) to Banks, for a few years. While in that 
employment he published Rosarum Monographia.
