The Life and Letters of 
SIR JOSEPH DALTON HOOKER 
■. O.M., G.C.S.I., F.R.S. 
By LEONARD HUXLEY 
- Based on material collected and 
arranged by LADY HOOKER 
"‘'THE long life of Sir Joseph Hooker, which began 
1 exactly one hundred years ago, covers the whole of 
the scientific renaissance.. Pre-eminent in botany, his 
name will always be associated with the making of Kew : 
but as Traveller and Explorer he was hardly less eminent, 
whether in the Antarctic, the Himalayas, or the Atlas. 
The history of his scientific career is also the history of 
many friendships, revealed in his unceasing correspon¬ 
dence, most of all with Charles Darwin, for he was Darwin's 
confidant, helper and critic for fifteen years before the 
1 Origin' appeared.
