The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by Joseph Dalton Hooker, on a paper 'On the vine-disease in the port-wine districts of the Alto-Douro, in April 1854. With a supplementary note on the proposed remedies for its eradication' by Joseph James Forrester

Reference number: RR/2/68

Date: 28 August 1854

Description

Recommended for publication in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London'. Agrees with John Lindley [RR/2/67] on the value of the paper. Considers the paper possibly more suitable to the Horticultural Society's Journal, or the Society of Arts Journal, but would be a valuable addition to the Proceedings. Suggests a few minor changes.
