He had not even an official house. Like so many of the best things of this country', Kew was largely founded on private enterprise. During the first years Sir William worked alone. Joseph was still in the Antarctic : and even when he returned in 1 843 it was only for the short interval before his Himalayan journey. It was not till his return from India in 1851 KEW 25 that he took up residence at Kew. In 1855 he became Assistant Director till his father's death in 1865. From that time onwards ti...ll his retirement in 1885 Sir Joseph Hooker was Director. The ideal of a National Botanic Garden had already been sketched in the report of a Royal Commission a few years before, upon the question of retaining the Botanic Gardens at Kew. It was pointed out that " A National Botanic Garden would be the centre around which all lesser establishments should be arranged : they should all be placed under the control of the chief of that garden, acting with him, and through him with each other, recording constantly their proceedings, ex- plaining their wants, receiving supplies, and aiding the mother-country in everything useful in the vegetable kingdom : medicine, commerce, agriculture, horticulture, and many branches of manufacture would derive con- siderable advantage from the establishment of such a system.
