Henry Jerome de Salis

Harriet Blosset was the girl who in 1768 had been led to believe by Sir Joseph Banks (1743-1820) that he would marry her on his return from his journey with Cook on the Endeavour.

They returned in June 1771 but Banks's previous affections had been shot by three years of Orientals; compensation was paid.
