A biographical introduction to the early years of James Edward Smith
This pamphlet tells the story of Smith’s personal and professional life, which creates a picture of eighteenth-century societal values and scientific endeavours.
Charting his childhood, studies, travel, experience and entrepreneurial pursuits, we arrive at Smith’s founding of the Linnean Society. We learn of life in London and Norwich, Smith’s career and his professional highlights.
For a more detailed biography consider Lord Treasurer of Botany, the definitive biographical work on the Society’s founder, Sir James Edward Smith (1759–1828).
