'This book is an essential work of reference for all scholars of eighteenth-century science and exploration.' Archives of Natural History 'Chambers's collections of Banks's letters not only provide an invaluable scholarly resource, but give a wonderful flavour of the world that produced Banks, and which he then proceeded to shape.' Times Literary Supplement 'The scholarship of the editor and the impressive production of the publisher do ample credit to the global legacy of Banks and both are worthy of the warmest congratulation.' Archives of Natural History 'will be invaluable to anyone who is interested in the thinking behind Britain's worldwide expansion, and the establishment of the second British Empire in the late eighteenth century.' Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society
