LINNEAN1899

From:
Sir Joseph Banks
To:
Sir James Edward Smith
Date:
25 Dec 1817
Source of text:
GB-110/JES/COR/20/51, The Linnean Society of London
Summary:

Thanks for turkies and buns. Comments on Smith's article on botany in the "Scotch Encyclopedia" [Rees' "Cyclopedia"], which he had previously neglected to peruse; admires his defence of Linnaeus' natural classes but considers De Jussieu's system superior. Comments on the "immense" improvement in botany since he first started studying it, citing Smith and [James] Sowerby's "English botany", which would have saved him years of labour.

[Note in Smith's hand] this letter printed in "Selection of the Correspondence of Linnaeus" vol 2 p.577.

LINNEAN3073

From:
Sir Joseph Banks
To:
Sir James Edward Smith
Date:
6 Jul 1813
Source of text:
GB-110/JES/COR/7/26, The Linnean Society of London
Summary:

Smith's candidature for Botany Professorship at Cambridge University. Anxious for Smith's success in campaign as he believes it would raise "recruits to the study of natural history". Thinks Smith will be successful judging by the conduct of the university in the case of the chemistry professor. Has heard nothing from the vice-chancellor regarding [Arthur] Biggs [(1765-1848)] appointment [as Cambridge Botanic Garden curator], fears he is ineffectual in offering advice to "alma mater".
