Abstract
WILLIAM CURTIS, founder of the Botanical Magazine and author of “Flora Londinensis”, was born two hundred years ago, on January 11, 1746, in Alton, Hampshire. The bicentenary of his birth is being celebrated, fittingly enough, at his birth-place, by an exhibition of manuscripts' and other 'Curtisiana' to be opened on January 11 at the Alton Assembly Rooms, adjoining the Curtis Museum, of which Mr. W. Hugh Curtis, author of “William Curtis” (1941), is a joint honorary curator.
