JHC505

From:
Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker
To:
Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer
Date:
21 March 1896
Source of text:
JDH/2/16 f.148, The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Summary:

JDH offers his assistance to Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer in the matter of the RBG Kew library catalogue. [Sir John?] Evans has approached JDH about a scheme for transferring RBG Kew's Cryptogamic collection to the British Museum [of Natural History]. JDH would not discuss the matter with Evans but informs WTTD of his strong objection to breaking up the RBG Kew herbarium collection built up by JDH & his father, Sir William Jackson Hooker. He suspects Evans wanted to relocate the Musci & algae in particular. JDH describes the herbarium in total as representing the 'Botany of the Century' & says to divide it would be 'emasculation'. Particularly considering WJH's early career as a cryptogamist & JDH's own publications & collections from Antarctica.
