This biography of Sir William Jardine (1800-1874), the foremost
Scottish naturalist of the 19th century, uses original source
material (manuscripts, correspondence, etc.). Despite Jardine's
considerable achievements as ornithologist, ichthyologist,
publisher and catalyst of Victorian science, no comprehensive
biography exists. Jardine owned the finest private natural history
museum and library in Britain and made natural history available to
anyone who could read by issuing 40 small volumes on birds,
mammals, fishes and insects.
