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. 
npHE long life of Sir Joseph Hooker, which began 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. 
The history of his scientific career is also the history of many friendships, 
revealed in his unceasing correspondence, most of all with Charles 
Darwin, for he was Darwin’s confidant, helper, and critic for fifteen 
years before the “ Origin ” appeared.

EXTRACT FROM PUBLISHERS' NOTICE. 
“This book deals with the science and art of engineering work on seashores 
and river banks. It is primarily concerned with those problems which underlie 
the maintenence of coastal and riparian lands, and, as as a factor in such 
control, the extent to which Horticulture may be enlisted in the cause of 
conservation. 
The data amassed in this work are in the main a record of hitherto 
unpublished observations, and the book forms a compendium giving the results 
of the authors' experience during many years. The valuable records secured at 
the reserved area of Blakeney Point (Norfolk), also at the Bouche d’Erquy 
(Brittany), and other centres of study at home and abroad are detailed. The 
practice and principles evolved form almost a new science and are concisely set 
down.”
