Of the life of Graves little is known, but he appears to 
have been a professional colourer of natural history plates. 
He was elected Fellow of the Linnean Society, March 17, 
1812, resigned in 1832, and died two years later. He must 
have been a capable botanist, as he edited the fourth and

He also wrote The Naturalist's Pocket Book : or Tourist's 
Companion (1817), British Grasses (1822), and Hortus Medicus 
(1834). He appears to have resided at Walworth and

Linnean Society.
