His father died when he was a child and his mother brought him up in a religious atmosphere. He began work in a grocery, drug and chemical business, but his health was not good and he decided to adopt an outdoor life. An uncle helped him in the study of botany, and in 1815, with his brother Thomas, he purchased the nursery business of J. and G. Telford at York. In 1822 he married Deborah Lowe, and in 1824 he was admitted as a minister in the Society of Friends. In December 1827 his wife died leaving him with a son and a daughter. In September 1831, with G. W. Walker (q.v.), he sailed for Australia on a mission to the convicts and settlers. They arrived at Hobart in February 1832, and the next six years were spent in missionary journeys all over the then settled districts of Tasmania, New South Wales, and as far north as the site of Brisbane. Port Phillip was visited in 1837, and South and Western Australia just before they left. A Narrative of a Visit to the Australian Colonies by James Backhouse, published in 1843, tells the story of their travels and has much of interest relating to the aborigines, the convicts, the social conditions of the time, and the botany of Australia. The two missioners then went to Mauritius and South Africa and continued their work, preaching whenever a few could be gathered together to hear them. Backhouse even succeeded in learning enough Dutch to be able to preach in that language. He returned to England and arrived at London on 15 February 1841. An account of his African experiences will be found in

106. The Scientific Letters Of Sir Joseph Banks joseph Banks, engraving after portrait by sir Joshua Reynolds, 17723 john Farey; sir William Hamilton; Charles Hatchett; sir William Herschel; http://www.nhm.ac.uk/hosted_sites/banks/scientific_letters.htm

The scientific letters of Sir Joseph Banks are an unprecedented and continuous record of fifty years of technological and intellectual development. They provide a unique insight into the growth of science and discovery from the eighteenth to the early nineteenth century. As such the letters represent one of Banks’s great contributions in the field where he is perhaps best remembered. Sir Joseph Banks was a man of science and of letters. He circumnavigated the globe with Lieutenant James Cook on HMS Endeavour , 1768-1771, taking with him a team of naturalists, illustrators and assistants at a personal cost of £10,000. Together they made unprecedented collections of flora and fauna at many of the places HMS Endeavour visited. Banks also led the first British scientific expedition to Iceland in 1772. Later, he settled in London and assembled an enormous library and herbarium, both of which were housed at 32 Soho Square from 1777 onwards. His collections were remarkable for their size and especially for the unique material they contained from the Pacific. In 1778 Banks was elected President of the Royal Society, a position he held for over 41 years - the longest anyone has served in that capacity. As President he fostered enlightened relations between scientists across Europe throughout a period of conflict and turbulent change. He was a founder member of numerous important societies, many of which survive today, including the Linnean Society, 1788, the Royal Institution, 1799, and the Royal Horticultural Society, 1804. Banks was unofficial director of the Royal Gardens at Kew from 1773, which flourished under his control. Voyages of discovery were mounted with his help to explore new lands, to obtain and move plants from one part of the world to another and to further British interests abroad. He was also a privy councillor and an advisor to George III and successive governments.
