[KATHY BILTON]

Tuesday, October 19 - at 9am EDT (2pm BST) Linnean Lens: Peter Collinson's 
Commonplace Books

A cloth merchant by trade, Peter Collinson (1694-1768) had an immense 
passion for the natural world and scientific inquiry. The Society holds 
two boxes of unbound pages from Peter Collinson’s commonplace books. 
Assistant Archivist Luke Thorne will delve into the notebooks to reveal 
the letters, notes, observations, biographical accounts, diary entries and 
scientific papers that bring Collinson and his world to life.
