London ; New York : Bloomsbury, 2007. First Edition. Hardcover. In 1836 the United States government received a strange and unprecedented gift--a half-million dollar bequest to establish a foundation in Washington ""for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men. "" The Smithsonian Institution, as it would be called, eventually grew into the largest museum and research complex in the world. Yet the man behind what became ""America's attic, "" James Smithson, has remained a shadowy figure for more than 150 years. Drawing on unpublished diaries and letters from across Europe and the United States, historian Heather Ewing tells his compelling story in full. The illegitimate son of the Duke of Northumberland, Smithson was the youngest member of Britain's Royal Society and a talented chemist admired by the greatest scientists of his age.

Description:
Bloomsbury, 2007. 1st edition. Hard covers, dust jacket. Fine/Fine. Biography of the natural son of the Duke of Northumberland whose mother imbued in him a love of science. His hitherto mysterious early life is here revealed and dissected in considerable detail. His legacy, the Smithsonian Museum, was paradoxically the reason for the mystery, since a fire destroyed his personal archives, setting his biographer a stiff challenge. Heather Ewing has succeeded magnificently. xi, 432, (2) pp.
