Latham, John 1740-1837 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There were two John Latham, M.D.'s and both were members of the Royal Society and the Linnean Society. The John Latham (ornithologist) was elected to the Linnean Society in 1775. The two John Lathams are detailed by the Society as follows: (from the Royal Society Online Archives accessed 2010.11.27)It is somewhat confusing that the Royal Society data shows the first Latham as having helped found the Linnean Society (which he did) but does not show him as a Fellow of the Society (FLS), which he was.John Latham 1740-1837

At the beginning of the French revolution he had been ordained to the priesthood, and was one of the first to take the oath prescribed by the civil constitution of the clergy in 1791. In 1793, the convention decreed the abolition of all religion, Ledru returned to his family and afterward went to Paris, where he remained until he left his country with the expedition to the Canary and West India islands under Captain Baudin, to which he had been appointed botanist. On his return in 1798 the government made him the professor of legislation in the central school of La Sarthe, and afterward opened a school for free instruction in physics and natural history in his house, where he had a large library, a fine herbariran, and a botanical garden. His collections are now in the museum of the city of Mans. From 1816 until his death he occupied himself in preparing for publication several works, of which the most important are "Memoires sur les ceremonies religieuses et vocabulaire des Guanches," published in "Memoires de l'Academie Celtique" (1809), and "Voyage aux isles de Tenerif, La Trinite, St. Thomas, Ste. Croix, et Porto Rico, execute par l'ordre du gouvernement Frangais, par Andre Pierre Ledru, l'un des naturalistes de l'expedition" (Paris, 1810-'20). A Spanish translation of the part of this book that relates to Porto Rico was made by Julio L. Vizcarrondo (Porto Rico, 1863).

Blunt refers to the tree as a Lime tree; evidently linden and lime are synonymous. Born: Stenbrohult, in Smaland. 23 May, 1707 (Georgian Calendar). Married: Sara Elisabeth Moraea in 1739. Eldest son Brother Samuel and at least 3 sisters. Emerentia Linnaeus [1723-1753] Anna Maria [1710-1769] Sophia Juliana [1714-1771] Child: Carl Linnaeus [ -1783] dies a bachelor, and without issue. Carl passed on to his son his academic post, which the son appeared to have little interest in, largely ignoring the position and gardens. Characterized by his father as having no interest in Botany. Enobled: 1762 as von Linne "the lord of all of Sweden's Clams" for his demonstration of a technique for culturing pearls. Dies: 10 Jan, 1778 in Uppsala. Linnaeus saw his main contribution as economical, believing in the idea of employing nature to make Sweden prosperous and independant. Late in his life there are indications that he saw the dream of acclimatization of foreign species as flawed. His student do not appear to have been particularly fond of him often ridiculing him and being eager to be free from his control. Linnaeus saw his students as essentially belonging to him, and thier works, understandings and production as rightfully his own. Excellent reference: Linnaeus Nature and Nation.

I Uppsala blev prästsonen från Småland väl mottagen i Linnés hem. Han fick av honom och kanske framförallt av hans son handledning i naturalhistorien. 1777, då han börjat de egentliga medicinska studierna, angreps han av svår frossfeber och måste resa hem, Efter rekonvalescensen tryggade han sin framtid genom att bli tjänsteman, men studielusten återkom, när han befordrats till kronofogde i hemlänet. Han slog sig ned först på Skareda i Lommaryds sn och från 1798 på Skärsjö i Bälaryd. På båda dessa egendomar anlade han stora trädgårdar och drev med framgång ett experimentellt lagt jordbruk. I slutet av 1780-talet blev L efter överansträngning i tjänsten sjuk, och i förhoppning att återvinna krafter och livsmod gav han sig i hustruns sällskap ut på långresa. I en resejournal redogör han för sina intryck av bl a VA:s museum, av professorerna i Uppsala och av kronobrännerier och kyrkor i Bergslagen och Dalarna. Sin hälsa återvann L dock först när han beviljats avsked från fogdetjänsten och grundligt druckit brunn i Medevi. I fortsättningen kunde hans entusiasm för naturalhistorien få ökat utrymme. Han ägnade all ledig tid och en väsentlig del av sina ekonomiska tillgångar åt studier och snabbt växande samlingar av insekter, fåglar, snäckor, växter och mineralier. Han ökade dessa genom omfattande sv och utländska bytesför-bindelser och genom köp av enstaka objekt eller hela kollektioner. Han korresponderade och bytte naturalier med flera av samtidens kända samlare som C P Thunberg, C F Fallén och G Marklin och med vännerna från uppsalaåren E Acharius och Fr Ehrhart, Av den holländske samlaren Jan Brandes, som efter sju år som präst i Batavia blivit lantbrukare i Småland, fick L material till vetenskapliga uppsatser och förvärvade efter dennes död bl a en samling exotiska fåglar. Naturalhistoriker sökte sig sommartid gärna till Skärsjö. Tyskarna Weber och Mohr, som besökte L 1803,var imponerade av hans språkkunskaper, hans insektssamling, som de beräknade omfatta 5 000- 6 000 arter, och av hans generositet, då han gav dem tillstånd att beskriva av honom funna, för vetenskapen nya arter. För att i sin avlägsna landsort kunna bedriva studier sammanbragte L ett bibliotek, som med sina nära 5 000 huvudsakligen naturvetenskapliga arbeten kom att bli ett av Sveriges största i privat ägo. Studierna resulterade i uppsatser, oftast traditionella artbeskrivningar, av vilka flera publicerades. Han beskrev exotiska djur från Java, Ceylon och Kap, gnagare från Småland och nya insektsarter från den egna samlingen men redogjorde också för jordbruksrön, årsväxt och väderlek. För sina författarmödor belönades han med ledamotskap i akademier och samfund och för sin odlingsflit med Vasaorden. Ingen av L:s söner intresserade sig för naturalhistorien, och hans samlingar skingrades efter hans död. Biblioteket såldes i Uppsala dels på auktion, dels under hand av G Marklin. En del av insektssamlingen såldes till entomologer utomlands men huvudparten till LU; ett skåp med materia medica som ägts av Linné d ä förvärvades av Göran Wahlenberg.
