In 1783, English natural historian James Edward Smith (1759-1828) was fortunate enough to be able to purchase the entire collection of books, manuscriptsand specimens of Carolus Linnaeus, after Sir Joseph Banks had declined the opportunity to acquire it. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1786, foundedthe LinneanSociety of London in 1788 (serving as its president until his death), and was elected a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1792. He was a prolific writer on botany, his most notable contribution to the popularisation of the subject being the monumentalEnglish Botany(1790-1813), published and illustrated by Sowerby.
