Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. London: John Van Voorst, 1862. First edition. ix,[i],278pp.,(+16pp. publisher's catalogue, dated December 1860). Original tipped-in photographic frontispiece depicting Henslow's bust. Errata slip tipped in after prelims. With Darwin's recollections of Henslow between pages 51 & 55, & double page table between pages 100 & 101. §Freeman 830; this copy being Freeman's variant a binding. Sole edition of this memoir of an important figure in the life of Charles Darwin. "CD, when at Cambridge, was known as 'the man who walked with Henslow'. CD regularly attended his Friday evening gatherings, which continued every week in term until 1836 and were the forerunners of the Cambridge Ray Club 1837-. H became a strong personal friend of CD and looked after specimens sent back from Beagle voyage. 1835[,] H edited CD's letters to him [written from the Beagle] as Letters on geology, privately printed," Freeman, 'Charles Darwin: A Companion' (1978). "From 1825 to 1832 seems to have been a golden age for botanical science in Cambridge. Not only were Henslow's lectures well attended, but the more gifted pupils found the young professor charming, friendly, accessible, and very knowledgeable over the whole field of natural science. The field classes run by Henslow became very popular, partly because they took in zoology and geology as freely as botany, and the Friday evening soirées at the Henslow home overlooking Parker's Piece were brilliantly successful. The young Charles Darwin, who went up to Christ's College in 1828, fell under his spell, with important consequences for modern biological science. Darwin assessed his teacher thus: 'He had a remarkable power of making the young feel completely at ease with him, though we were all awe-struck with the amount of his knowledge. . . When I reflect how immediately we felt at ease. . . I think it was as much owing to the transparent sincerity of his character, as to his kindness of heart; and, perhaps even still more to the highly remarkable absence in him of all self-consciousness.' Jenyns, 51. Thus began a lifelong friendship, which survived even the strain of the publication of The Origin of Species in 1859. Ironically, Henslow, who had first recommended Darwin as naturalist for the Beagle [after both himself and Jenyns had turned down the opportunity to embark], was in the chair for the famous meeting of the British Association in Oxford in 1860 when Thomas Henry Huxley clashed with Bishop Wilberforce over man's descent from the apes", (Oxford DNB). This copy with the ownership name & annotations of J. Climenson who - according to these - studied under Henslow during the latter's tenure as Chair of Botany at Cambridge c.1825-1846; apparently some years later than Darwin. Climenson can be fairly confidently identified as the Rev. John Climenson (d.1904). No publications of his have been traced. His wife Emily J. Climenson (née Montagu, 1844-1921) edited various 18th century writings such as 'Passages from the Diary of Mrs. Philip Lybbe Powys' (1899). Original purple cloth, gilt lettering, blind decoration. Spine sunned to a shade of brown, with some discoloration, and wear to head, tail & lower edge of spine. Rear inner margin partly cracked but sound. Climenson's annotations, written over a number of years, consist of his name, college, & date to front pastedown above his MS note 'York Certificate of Botany under this Most Charming of Professors. J.C.'; ink marginalia to page 24; a few marks in pencil & one marginal date in ink to four further leaves; initials & date to page 266; and brief pencilled index, date & initials to last endpapers. In all other respects, a very good copy.…

3 pp, 4to. Bifolium. Good, on lightly-aged paper, with minor traces of stub adhering to the blank reverse of second leaf. The year 1832 has been added in pencil in a contemporary hand. The letter is on paper watermarked 1831. Docketed at head 'Braybrooke Ld.' He begins by informing Henslow that Lord Grenville has lent him 'the Book in which his Notes upon the growth of Trees, during many years, had been made. He assures me that nothing worth your notice will be found among the MS remarks, but I am not of that opinion. Ld G is however very fond of the book as of an old acquaintance, & the entries if once lost can never be replaced, as no other Copy exists.' He feels 'very responsible' for the volume, but does not 'hesitate to entrust it to you knowing that you will lock it up & return it by a safe messenger'. The Braybrookes are 'stationary' at Audley End, and will be happy to see Henslow, if he wishes to return the volume in person. 'I have also a large specimen of lilac wood at your service, should you not have one already.' He is enclosing 'a paper which I copied from a loose MS document in my Evelyn's Sylva'. He ends the letter with a report of the fruit-bearing properties of Dr Clarke's mulberry tree: 'the indented leaves were also all on the lower part of the tree only, those above being all apparently of the common species'. In a postscript he reports that he has 'received no answer from Mr Blackie about the pruning system, perhaps he is afraid of entering the lists with you Cambridge Professors! ! !' The Prime Minister William Wyndham Grenville (1759-1834), Baron Grenville, planted at least 2500 trees at Dropmore House, and at the time of his death his pinetum contained the largest collection of conifer species in Britain.…
