P may be fairly questioned whether the annals of horticulture contain а more anomalous an individuality than that of Peter Collinson, who did more to eacourage the culti- vation of exotic plants during the earlier half of the last century than any other man, and who never wrote a book! It is more than passing strange that this restless and enthusiastic culti- vator should have fallen into the great obscurity which surrounds his name and his work; for even the memoir of him in the Dictionary of National Biography, by tbe late Robert Hunt, F. R. S. (vol. xi, pp. 382-3), is far from satis- than not the only species of gratitude vouchsafed to men who have done much on behalf of their country; but if the post-mortem eulogies of Peter Collinson have been few, faint, and far between, he enjoyed the much more substantial and satisfying advantages of an exoeedingly wide repute and appreciation during half a century of his long and busy life. eter Collinson was born at the paternal estate of Hugall Hall, or Height of Hugal, near Win- dermere Lake, in the parish of — 25 about ten miles from Kendal, Westm January 14, 1693-4. His parents were me of the Society of d and were ауа іп business as mercers, very early age Peter developed a passion for ана history, and when quite a young man had secured the friendship of the leading naturalists of the day—Doctors erham, Woodward, Dale, Lloyd, and Sir Hans Sloane. The Earl of Bute was another distin- guished naturalist who encouraged Collinson; and it was at the suggestion of the latter that Admiral Sir Charles Wager systematised his эса ch for during his voyages—a considerable, Portion of the collections thus formed to the pos- session of Sir Hans Sloane, now an jütegral part of the British Museum. Collinson naturally experienced no difficulty in becoming a Fellow of the Royal Society—in his time, as present, the most exolusive of the learned bodies in this country—and was elected December 12, 1728, at the unusually early age of thirty-four years. H of time are described as such that, = though he never appeared to be in a hurry, he ed an extensive correspondence with ком punctuality ; ; aequainting the learned and ious in different parts of the globe with the discoveries and improvements in natural 6 THE GARDENERS’ CHRONICLE. [Jory 6, 1895, history i in this country, receiving the like infor- e most eminent persons in almost The most noteworthy of Collinson’s ocorre- spondents were Cadwallader Colden, of New York, and Benjamin Franklin, of Philadelphia. The latter. communica his first essays on electricity to Collinson, in a series of letters, which were afterwards published,* and which will be found in the collected editions of Frank- lin’s works, In 1730 a subscription library was set on foot at Philadelphia, and Collinson not only encouraged the movement by making several very valuable presents to it, and by pro- curing others from his friends, but he voluntarily undertook t i of books— satisfaction for over thirty years. time he transmitted to the directors or committee of the library, accounts of every new European improvement in agriculture and the arts, and every philosophical discovery, among whioh, in 1745, he sent over an account of the new German experiments in electricity, together with a glass tube, aud some directions for using it, À few months ago a very important series of long and interesting letters from Colden to Col- linson, and a few from Franklin also, came into the market at Sotheby's, and realised very high prices. A few extracts from these letters will be valuable for future reference, although botanical matters formed but one of the many subjeots dealt with in these epistles, Writing to Peter Collinson from New Haven, of good Mrs. Collinson,” not," he soi “offer to comfort you by argu- ments drawn from philosophy or religion, such will readil lamented occasion.
