A Few Hours' Botanising on Barham Downs... 1861

A Few Hours' Botanising on Barham Downs, and about Broome Park, near Canterbury........ 

in 1861

One hundred and sixty-four years ago, 2nd July 1861, Alexander Irvine left London at about eight o'clock for a botanizing trip from Canterbury to Barham and beyond, leaving eight or nine hours for his researches, and ample time for his return.  It seems impolite not to take the opportunity to repeat this journey.
