| | The Life and Works of Sir Joseph Banks |
 | | Banks had embarked on an unprecedented voyage of botanical and ethnographic investigation. | | | Iceland had been deprived of the trade upon which it relied for survival by the British. | | | He returned to London in 1767 as an experienced field botanist, having collected North American specimens, and with the promise of greater things to come. |

| | Unable to get them back to the camp, Banks had his men fashion a crude shelter out of branches, and left his two grey hounds with the men to help keep them warm. | | | The two botanists did find some alpine plants, and were collecting specimens when Solander first noticed the sudden bitter cold. | | | While Cook went about assembling a reliable crew, Joseph Banks gathered his own people. |

| | Since his adventures, Banks had been busy sending other men out to do as he had done, to discover and seize the world's living wealth. | | | Because now that the last continent had been found and Britain ruled the waves, the possibilities were intoxicating. | | | He wished to plumb the secret unities of nature-to learn how living things gained a foothold on land, how land itself was created. |

| | Sir Joseph Banks |
| | Banks must have been a very active and forceful man because he was accused by fellow scientists of being despotic in the use of his position. | | | Joseph Banks was interested plants which were economically useful and in their introduction into new countries. | | | As if that were not enough involvement with Australia, he had kangaroos on his farm here in Lincolnshire; while Australia might today be known as Banksia, perhaps, had the suggestion of the great Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus been adopted. |
