Sir James Edward Smith
Date:
8 Mar 1821
Source of text:
GB-110/JES/COR/23/83, The Linnean Society of London
Summary:

Encloses latest list of subscribers [extant] to his "History of Birds". Examined [Coenraad Jacob] Temminck's [(1778-1858), zoologist] "Manuel [d'ornithologie]" for the work, notes on new genera added to Linnaeus'. Printing expected to commence imminently. Unable to determine whether there will be any ornithology in next "Linnean Transactions", in spite of seeing a list of New Holland parrots when last in London. Asks if Smith knows whether Dr Horrfield will be publishing any of the specimens he brought from Java and Ceylon. Still awaiting news of European subscribers.

Written on printed prospectus and list of subscribers for "Latham's History of Birds".
