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".

To:
Sir James Edward Smith
Date:

Source of text:
GB-110/JES/COR/1/90, The Linnean Society of London
Summary:

At a loss on the subject of Hermodactyls, [an ancient Greek medicine], but is of the opinion that the gout medicine is composed of that root and that Dr Wilson of Yoxford, Suffolk, who has a medicine similar in taste and smell to that of the French, uses 'Colchicum'. Doubts whether 'Colchicum autumnale' is the same as that used in the Greek Pharmacopoeia. Asks Smith whether any of [John] Sibthorp's papers have any information on the Hermodactyl of the Greeks.
