LINNEAN430

From:
Sir Joseph Banks
To:
Sir James Edward Smith
Date:
20 Jan 1806
Source of text:
GB-110/JES/COR/1/77, The Linnean Society of London
Summary:

Urges Smith to reread his last letter [not extant] where Smith will find that Banks did not draw parallels between Smith and [Richard] Salisbury. Had Banks known how deep the quarrel between Smith and Salisbury had become he would never have undertaken the "hopeless task" of effecting a reconciliation, and now relinquishes it. Refers Smith to his advice in last letter, viz to refrain from personal altercations but by no means avoid potential discussion. Remarks that whilst he does not "feel the esteem for Salisbury [he] once did" he does not "despise his indefatigable industry".

LINNEAN431

From:
Sir Joseph Banks
To:
Sir James Edward Smith
Date:
24 Sep 1807
Source of text:
GB-110/JES/COR/1/78, The Linnean Society of London
Summary:

Unable to give Mr Patterson any information regarding the state of George III's flock of merino sheep. Had recommended to the King [George III (1738-1820)] for a ram to be sold for 25 guineas, a "fine wooled sheep". The King's flock of the negretti strain of Spain, "finer than the original flock". One ram castrated this year because of a few "king hairs" in his wool but has not had one other sheep that did not pass the judgement of the wool-stapler, who annually examines each sheep.

LINNEAN432

From:
Sir Joseph Banks
To:
Sir James Edward Smith
Date:
8 Dec 1807
Source of text:
GB-110/JES/COR/1/79, The Linnean Society of London
Summary:

Friendly criticism of Smith's book; wonders whether he relied too much on [Erasmus] Darwin who was "too poetical to be correct" and [William] Forsyth who was "too cunning" to be quite so pure as Smith supposes him. Pleased to hear that the second fasiculum of "Flora Graeca" is to be printed soon. Genus 'Silene' has always been obscure and remarks on this subject will be welcome.

From:
Sir Joseph Banks
To:
Sir James Edward Smith
Date:
15 Dec 1807
Source of text:
GB-110/JES/COR/1/80, The Linnean Society of London
Summary:

Assures Smith that he does not think ill of him if they differ in opinion. Relates a series of experiments with peach, cherry and pear trees for investigating [William] Forsyth's claim for regenerating old trees with his "plaster", at the request of George III. Asks whether in the Norfolk dialect a turkey's nest is called her "rip".
