To:

Date:
16 Nov 1821
Source of text:
GB-110/JES/ADD/73, The Linnean Society of London
Summary:

Has been reading Smith's "Selection of the correspondence of Linnaeus", which shows "how dead Botany was in England to the middle of the last century". Believes the Linnaean system was not publicly known in England until 1762, when Hope taught it at Edinburgh and himself at Cambridge, and [William] Hudson published "Flora Anglica".

Informs Smith he has repeated his offer of resigning the Walkerian Lectureship, without having anyone in view, but assuming that Smith has now finished with Cambridge.
