Sir Joseph Banks (1743–1820) was an influential botanist and patron of science. He accompanied Captain Cook on the voyage of the Endeavour to the South Seas (1768–1771), financed other important expeditions, and became President of the Royal Society. This 1911 publication was the first detailed biography of this remarkable man.
