Divine. B.A. Cambridge, 1823; M.A. 1824 (according to Crockford; 1828, according to J. A. Venn, Alumni Cantabrigienses: A Biographical List, 1940-1954); vicar of Meopham, Kent, 1854-1875. The contributor identifies himself as incumbent of the parish of Meopham. His article gives, from Ashmole's diary and from a document in his possession, information concerning the Tradescants. It was motivated by the reference to Tradescant the elder in "The Growth of Our Gardens", June 19 1858. H.W. printed the item without comment except that it had been sent by "a correspondent". Payment of £1.1.0 for the 1-column item was twice the standard rate.
