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

iv

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.
