Henslow, John Stevens.
Adm. pens. at ST JOHN'S, Oct. 14, 1813. [Elder] s. of John Prentice [sometime
solicitor at Enfield], of the City of Rochester [and Frances]. B. there Feb.
6, 1796. [School, Free Grammar, Rochester.] Matric. Michs. 1814; Scholar,
1816; B.A. (16th Wrangler) 1818; M.A. 1821. Adm. ad eundem at
Oxford, June 17, 1830. F.L.S., 1818. F.G.S., 1819. Professor of Mineralogy,
1822-7; of Botany, 1825-61. Founded the botanical museum. His enthusiasm
rendered botany a popular subject in the University, and Darwin, Berkeley and
Babington were among his pupils. He recommended Darwin as Naturalist for the
'Beagle,' and during the five years of the voyage took charge of all the
specimens sent home. Co-operated with Adam Sedgwick in founding the Cambridge
Philosophical Society. Gunning (Reminiscences, II. 337-47) gives an
account of the dispute with regard to his election as Professor of Mineralogy.
Charles Darwin was 'awestruck at his knowledge' (Emma Darwin, II. 404).
Ord. deacon (Ely) Apr. 11, 1824; priest, Nov. 7, 1824; C. of Little St Mary's,
Cambridge, 1824-32. V. of Cholsey-cum-Moulsford, Berks., 1832-7. R. of
Hitcham, Suffolk, 1837-61. An exemplary parish priest, and worked hard for
better conditions among the agricultural labourers in East Anglia. On more
than one occasion took an active part in suppressing bribery at the
Parliamentary elections at Cambridge. In the University constituency it was
still in 1826 the custom for candidates to pay the expenses of non-resident
electors who voted for them. Henslow and the Master of Corpus (John Lamb)
protested in an open Letter to the Vice-Chancellor against this
practice. In 1835 when the Liberals had evidence that the Conservatives had
used bribery at the Borough election, and none being willing to incur the
odium of prosecuting, Henslow volunteered to take it upon himself. The
Conservatives vented their indignation by painting up in conspicuous places
the words 'Henslow Common Informer': evidence of this is still (1944) to be
seen, in certain conditions of weather, under the oriel window on the south
front of Corpus College. Married Dec. 16, 1823, Harriet, dau. of the Rev.
George Jenyns, of Bottisham, Cambs. Author, A Catalogue of British
Plants

Botany
