LINNEAN1878

From:
William Babington
To:
Sir James Edward Smith
Date:
15 Mar 1796

GB-110/JES/COR/20/32, The Linnean Society of London
Summary:

Confirmation that their low expectations [regarding sale of the Linnaean fossils] were well founded: worthless chaos of the Linnaean cabinet contained only one valuable specimen; concerned that the efforts of himself and Dr Mitchell in organising it worked towards Smith's disadvantage; thought that Dr Lettsom would be a possible purchaser, and he did call at Mr King's, but did not attend the sale. Advertisement of Smith's lectures [at Guy's Hospital, London]. Balance from the sale.
