LINNEAN2302

From:
Archibald Menzies
To:
Sir James Edward Smith
Date:
22 Jan 1820
Source of text:
GB-110/JES/COR/24/22, The Linnean Society of London
Summary:

Investigated vacant Edinburgh botany professorship at Smith's request: the government made its first offer to [Robert] Brown on 18 December [1819], three days after the death of the late professor [Daniel Rutherford]; Brown refused the post and it was given to Dr [Robert] Graham [(1786-1845)]. Satisfaction he and "every well-wisher to the science" would have had if Smith had been appointed; believes it is worth £1000-1200 a year. Glasgow professorship still vacant but not as valuable. Will endeavour to procure Smith's late servant a position.
