Professor of botany from 1825 until his death, John Stevens Henslow
(1796 1861) revived and greatly advanced the study of plants at
Cambridge. His influence helped to make the University Botanic
Garden an important centre for teaching and research. Originally
published over a period of seventeen years, and now reissued here
together, these thirteen papers reveal the impressive breadth of
Henslow's scientific knowledge. The first two items, from 1821,
address the geology of the Isle of Man and Anglesey respectively,
preceding his five-year tenure as chair of mineralogy at Cambridge
from 1822. The rest of the papers, dating from 1829 to 1838,
address botanical topics. Professor John Parker, Director of
Cambridge University Botanic Garden, has provided a new
introduction that traces Henslow's developing interests and
contextualises the items in this collection. Several of Henslow's
other publications, including his Catalogue of British Plants
(1829), are reissued separately in this series."
