A fact from Jacques Labillardière appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 7 June 2005. The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the scientific collections of Jacques Labillardière (1755–1834) were seized by the British in 1793 as spoils of
war, but were returned after lobbying by Sir
Joseph Banks?
"By this HER Majesty will lose an acquisition to HER herbarium,.... " In 1796? I thought Victoria did'nt become queen til later.
By "her" Banks means "Britain" (which is female when personified, see
Britannia). So "her Majesty" means "Britain's king", that is,
George III. I agree it's a bit confusing, but it's what he wrote. Do you think it's so confusing it needs a gloss?
