The Linnean Society of London Collection
The scientific and personal correspondence of James Edward Smith (1759-1828), purchaser of the collections of Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778) and founder of the Linnean Society of London in 1788, was presented to the Linnean Society between 1857 and 1872 by his widow Pleasance Smith (1773-1877). Since then, it has been complemented by additional series. The collection was catalogued, conserved, and digitised from 2010 to 2013, thanks to the generous support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Letters can be searched through Ɛpsilon, with links to images and summaries available on the Linnean Society’s Online Collections (http://linnean-online.org/smith_correspondence.html).

Has looked over the sample of the "Flora Graeca" Smith sent and generally approves of the plan although believes the title to not be very logical. Received parcels from the Academy of Stockholm the day before the embargo on Swedish vessels, including some for Smith: one from the Academy containing documents and two from [Carl Peter] Thunberg.
