The National Herbarium

Abstract

You will, perhaps, give admission to a few remarks on Dr. Hooker's instructive “Reply”* to my “Statement” of 16th May, 1872, bearing in mind that this “Statement” was called for in explanation of the grounds of my requirements and assignment of space in the Museum of Natural History, to be built at South Kensington, for the reception, uses, and applications of the National Herbarium, on the conviction that such would be continued and maintained in the metropolis.
