{115b} The only obvious exception seems to be that too much space has
been given to Sir Joseph's letters to Mr La Touche, inasmuch as they are
not especially interesting. It is not clear why Sir Joseph corresponded
so much with Mr La Touche. Can it be that he wished to placate him as
being his son's schoolmaster?

{122b} Hooker's _Himalayan Journals_ was published in 1854, and
dedicated to Charles Darwin by "his affectionate friend."

{123} As a further instance of the treatment Hooker received from the
Indian authorities, I cannot resist quoting from vol. ii., p. 145: "The
Court of Directors snubbed him before he set out, refusing him assistance
and official letters of introduction to India, and even a passage out. . . .

{131} In 1882 Hooker had written to Darwin:--"The First Commissioner
(one of your d---d liberals) wrote a characteristically illiberal and
ill-bred minute . . . in effect warning me against your putting the Board
to any expense! . . . I flared up at this, and told the Secretary . . .
that the F. C., rather than send me such a minute, should have written a
letter of thanks to you."
