PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION. '

A few words of explanation as to the object and scope of this Index may fitly appear as an introduction to this work.

It is intended mainly as a guide to further information, and not as a bibliography or biography. We have been liberal in including all who have in any way contributed to the literature of Botany, who have made scientific collections of plants, or have otherwise assisted directly in the progress of Botany, exclusive of pure Horticulture. We have not, as a rule, included those who were merely patrons of workers, or those known only as contributing small details to a local Flora.

Where known, the name is followed by the years of birth and death, which, when uncertain, are marked with a ? or c. (circa) ; or merely approximate dates of “ flourishing ” are given. Then follows the place and day of birth and death, and the place of burial ; a brief indication of social position or occupation, espe¬ cially in the cases of artisan botanists and of professional collectors ; chief university degrees, or other titles or offices held, and dates of election to the Linnean and Royal Societies. A reference is then generally made to some botanical work or works justifying the inclusion of the name in the list, and terse encomia by eminent botanists are occasionally quoted. The present where¬ abouts of correspondence or MSS., and the existence of any herbarium or of plants collected, are next noted. Reference is then given to the chief sources of further information. Here, Pulteney’s ‘Sketches of the Progress of Botany’ (1790), Rees’ Cyclopaedia (1819-20), in which many of the biographies were written by Sir J. E. Smith, Pritzel’s ‘ Thesaurus Literaturae Botanicae ’ (1872), Jackson’s ‘Guide to Literature of Botany’ (1881), and the Royal Society’s Catalogue of Scientific Papers (vols. i.-ix.), are first quoted ; then the fullest known record is given ; and, lastly, a reference to the * Dictionary of National Biography’ (vols. i.-xxxiii.), so far as issued to the end of 1892. Mention is then made of any portrait, original or engraved, of any genus dedicated to the botanist in question, or, failing any such

genus, of a species. Where a name occurs on many pages of Mr. Jackson’s work, our reference is to the index of that work.

Although our information is largely derived from printed sources, it is also the result of private letters of inquiry; and where we differ from the various published biographies, it by no means indicates that we have not consulted them, or that we are necessarily wrong.

Most of our abbreviations are so generally used as to require no explanation, though we are conscious that, in this and in other points, we have not always followed a uniform usage. PI. for plants, FI. for Flora, and Herb, for Herbarium need no glossary.

The work originated in the want felt by the compilers of some reference -list of byegone workers in Botany. After several years of preparation, we thought it sufficiently advanced for publication at the beginning of 1888, and from that date down to the end of 1891 it appeared almost continuously month by month in the Journal of Botany (vols. xxvi.-xxix.). During its- appearance we received many gratifying letters of approval and encouragement from botanists of eminence from all parts of the world, and much valuable supplementary information. No one can be more fully aware than we are of the numerous imperfections in our records. Such a work must of necessity contain errors both of commission and of omission, and few who consult it can form an adequate opinion of the labour involved in collecting information which, when set down, may appear of the most meagre character. Our plan somewhat extended itself as the serial issue of our work proceeded, and this, coupled with such corrections as reached us, has necessitated a more complete re-editing of the entire Index than we anticipated. This has occupied us for more than a year, and enabled us to bring down our record to the end of 1892. The extent of this revision may be gauged from the facts that, whereas the issue in the Journal of Botany comprised 1,619 names, occupying 148 pages, an average of over ten names to the page, in its present form our little book contains 1,825 names, and occupies 188 pages, an average of less than ten names to the page.

PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION.

The authors had for some years contemplated a new edition which should incorporate the material of the three Supplements and bring the work up to date, when Mr. Boulger’s death in 1922 interrupted its preparation. I had urged Mr. Britten to complete the work, and we discussed the matter at intervals, but nothing definite was done. By the terms of his will Mr. Britten, at his death in 1924, left the production of the new edition to myself, and set aside a sum of money towards cost of printing. It was a heavier task than I had anticipated, and until my retirement from the Museum in 1930 I was not able to devote so much time as I could have wished to it. Printing was started early in 1928, and the period of qualification for inclusion by death has been drawn here. Each entry has been edited, some additions have been made to the information given, and new names have been introduced. A few names have been omitted which, on careful consideration seemed to fail to qualify. It is hard to draw a line of exclusion, especially on the side of horti¬ culture, and in dealing with plant-collectors. A publication of botanical interest has formed a useful criterion. Scientists of eminence, officials and others, are sometimes included by virtue of some contribution to botanical knowledge, though they would themselves not have claimed recognition as botanists. Generosity has been sliown to those who have contributed to local botany ; information as to these may be helpful when their names occur in herbaria or plant-lists ; and “ British ” has been made to include a few foreigners who, during residence in Britain or while holding official posts, have contributed to botanical know¬ ledge. There are doubtless many omissions and inaccuracies, and I would repeat the request of the original authors for criticism and additional information.

The authors’ aims at brevity and condensation have been adhered to ; an innovation in this direction is the omission of place of burial except when it is of some special interest.

PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION.

The growth of the work may be estimated by a comparison of the original edition, which with the three Supplements, issued in 1899, 1905, and 1908, respectively, comprised 256 pages, with the present volume of 338 pages.

The preparation of the new edition has involved some drudgery, but has also been of considerable interest, and has given pleasing contact with more helpers by correspondence and otherwise than can be mentioned by name here ; to these cordial thanks are given.

Special thanks are due to Mr. W. Roberts for the loan of his profusely annotated copy of the original work, and I have also been able, through the kindness of the late Mrs. Jackson, to consult the late Dr. Daydon Jackson’s annotated copy. Through¬ out the work Mr. John Ardagh, Librarian of the Department of Botany, has rendered yeoman service, both before my retire¬ ment from the Museum and also since, by kind permission of my successor, Mr. John Ramsbottom. I have also to thank Mr. Ardagh for compiling the enlarged list of titles of works consulted.
