  “Darwin strongly recommended Bates to publish a narrative of his travels, and with this object introduced him to the publisher, John Murray, who proved an invaluable friend. In January 1863 Murray issued Bates’s   The Naturalist on the River Amazons,   which has been described as ‘the best work of natural history travels published in England’. Apart from the personal charm of the narrative, Bates as a describer of the tropical forest is second only to Humboldt. His breadth of view saved him from the narrowness of specialism, and he was as far removed as possible from what Darwin called ‘the mob of naturalists without souls’...The highest compliment [his book] received was the remark of John Gould (whose greatest ambition had been to see the great river) to the author: ‘Bates, I’ve read your book - I’ve seen the Amazons.’ ” (DNB)

  An English admiral, and a son of James Vernon, Secretary of State to William III. After a variety of services he was made Vice-Admiral of the ‘BLUE’ in 1739, and sent with a squadron to Spanish America, where he took Porto Bello, and destroyed the fortifications. However, during his attack on Carthagena in 1741, Vernon began to argue with General Wentworth and other leaders of the expedition and his attack on Carthagena ultimately proved unsuccessful. Promoted to the rank of admiral in 1745, he was struck off the list the following year.
