Harriet Henrietta Beaufort
Henrietta Beaufort (1778–1865), earlier Harriet Beaufort, was a botanist born of Anglo-French parents in Ireland. Her ''Dialogues on Botany for the Use of Young Persons'' was published in 1819 and aimed to teach plant biology to young readers. Books In her ''Dialogues on Botany'', Beaufort considered it important to delay the teachings of the Linnaean system of classification until she had first provided the basis, physiology. There were no pictures in her book, because she thought it was important for readers to study nature and not the representation of it. She was criticized by contemporaries for this. In 1829 John Murray published her ''Bertha’s Journal'', without her name appearing as author. Family Beaufort's father, the Reverend Daniel Beaufort, a founding member of the Royal Irish Academy, was her inspiration to become a scientist. She had two sisters, Frances and Louisa, and a brother, Francis. Her whole family was interested or connected to science. Both H ...

Joy D
The word joy refers to the emotion evoked by well-being, success, or good fortune, and is typically associated with feelings of intense, long lasting happiness. Dictionary definitions Dictionary definitions of joy typically include a sense of it being a reaction to an external happening, e.g. a physical sensation experienced, or receiving good news. Distinction vs similar states saw a clear distinction between joy, pleasure, and happiness: "I sometimes wonder whether all pleasures are not substitutes for Joy", and "I call it Joy, which is here a technical term and must be sharply distinguished both from Happiness and Pleasure. Joy (in my sense) has indeed one characteristic, and one only, in common with them; the fact that anyone who has experienced it will want it again... I doubt whether anyone who has tasted it would ever, if both were in his power, exchange it for all the pleasures in the world. But then Joy is never in our power and Pleasure often is."

John Murray (1778–1843)
John Murray (27 November 1778 – 27 June 1843) was a Scottish publisher and member of the John Murray publishing house. He published works by authors such as Sir Walter Scott, Lord Byron, Jane Austen and Maria Rundell. Life The publishing house was founded by Murray's father, who died when Murray was only fifteen years old. During his adolescence, he ran the business with a partner Samuel Highley, but in 1803 the partnership was dissolved. Murray soon began to show the courage in literary speculation which earned for him later the name given him by Lord Byron of "the Anak of publishers", a reference to Anak in the Book of Numbers. In 1807 Murray took a share with Archibald Constable in publishing Sir Walter Scott's '' Marmion''. In the same year, he became part-owner of the ''Edinburgh Review'', although with the help of George Canning he launched in opposition the '' Quarterly Review'' in 1809, with William Gifford as its editor, and Scott, Canning, Robert Southey, John ...
