Excerpt from Science Papers, Chiefly Pharmacological and Botanical

One bright autumn afternoon, whilst the British Pharmaceutical Conference met at Exeter, a small party of friends went over the grounds that had belonged to the late Mr. Veitch. The visit was arranged in honour of Daniel Hanbury, the President for the year, who, on this particular day, was in his happiest mood. Amongst the noble collection of trees that were the pride of the West of England, a number were unknown to the new proprietor; Hanbury named them in succession, and described their habitat to the delighted owner.

One trying day, when at the London Board of the Pharmaceutical Society he sat for many hours as botanical examiner, it was noticed that he had never asked the same question twice.

I own then to feeling diffident in attempting to describe a man so profoundly master of his subject and of such admirable learning.

Daniel Hanbury was born on September 11, 1825, and entered into rest March 24, 1875.
