Employed early in his career by Sir Joseph Banks, the botanist John
Lindley (1799-1865) is best known for his recommendation that Kew
Gardens should become a national botanical institution, and for
saving the Royal Horticultural Society from financial disaster. As
an author, he is best remembered for his works on taxonomy and
classification. A partisan of the 'natural' system rather than the
Linnaean, Lindley published this 1841 work, the fourth edition of
his Outline of the First Principles of Botany, under a new title to
emphasise not only that it was 'much extended, and, it is hoped,
improved', but also that it was a textbook for students of
'structural, physiological, systematical, and medical' botany. He
defines the different elements of a plant, and provides a checklist
for identification of plant families, before discussing the various
'natural' systems of classification, including his own, and the
different practical uses of plants.
