To Which Is Prefixed A Sketch Of His Life.
Thomas Andrew Knight (1759-1838) was a distinguished British
naturalist and botanist who is often regarded as the father of
nineteenth-century horticultural science. From 1811 to 1838 Knight
was the president of the Royal Horticultural Society and his
interest in structural biology, plant physiology and plant breeding
is evident in this collection of papers, published in 1841. On his
country estate in Herefordshire, Knight devoted his time to
research and writing, and carried out experiments on plants and
trees. He published papers on his theories about such physiological
problems as the ascent and descent of sap and how buds are
produced. The main focus, however, is on Knight's own practical
work: building greenhouses and experimenting with plant nutrition,
fertilisation and the improvement of fruit trees by selective
breeding (work later appreciated by Darwin). In an interesting
chapter on animals, Knight relates his observations on the
behaviour of bees and dogs.
