WILLIAM GRIFFITH, Esq., the youngest son of the late Thomas Griffith, was born on the 4th of March 1810, at his fathers residence at Ham Common, near Kingston-upon-Thames, in the county of Surrey. He was educated for the Medical profession, and completed his studies at the London University, where he became a pupil of Prof. Lindley, under whose able instructions, assisted by the zealous friendship of Mr. R. H. Solly, and in conjunction with two fellow pupils of great scientific promise, Mr. Slack and Mr. Valentine, he made rapid progress in the acquisition of botanical knowledge. The first public proofs that he gave of his abilities are contained in a microscopic delineation of the structure of the wood and an analysis of the flower of Phytocrene gigantea, in the third volume of Dr. Wallichs Plant Asiatic Rariores; and in a note on the development and structure of Targionia hypophylla, appended to M. de Mirbels Dissertation on Marchantia polymorpha, both published in 1832. So highly were his talents as an observer appreciated at this early period, that Dr. Wallich speaks of him as one whose extraordinary talents and knowledge as a botanist, entitle him to the respect of all lovers of the science; and M. de Mirbel characterizes him as jeune Anglois, trs instruit, trs zl et fort bon observateur. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
