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.

From:
Sir Joseph Banks
To:
Sir James Edward Smith
Date:
10 Jan 1818
Source of text:
GB-110/JES/COR/1/96, The Linnean Society of London
Summary:

Objects to DeWitt Clinton's candidature to Royal Society on grounds of his never having lived in England, or being as much a man of science as David Hosack, an American who was accepted on his talents. Believes accepting him in his position as President of the New York Society would set a precedent. Enquires after the Peterson family and wonders whether they have been detained at Holkham, [Norfolk, home of Thomas William Coke] "by the charms of the ladies or the talents of the gentlemen".
