N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

Collector John Stuart Mill - compare http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/375599/?image - though I found no other specimens of his before 1834

[Roger Horton]

James and John Stuart Mill: Father and Son in the Nineteenth Century says that father and son spent a holiday at Dorking in 1822, and implies there were other such holidays until 1829.
