Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of a Scotch Naturalist: Thomas Edward Associate of the Linean Society The Life of a Scotch Naturalist appeared in 1876. After a life of hard work, Thomas Edward remained comparatively unknown, except to the natives of Banff. He had devoted the greater part of his leisure hours to the practical study of Natural History, and assisted many persons of influence in the same branch of science, though they knew nothing of his personal condition. He had discovered, by much labour and perseverance, many specimens of Crustacea in the Moray Firth, some of which were new to Britain, and others new to science. In consequence of his discoveries, and the assistance he had given to scientific men, he was elected an Associate of the Linnean Society in 1866; but shortly after, through ill health, he was unable to pursue his outdoor investigations, and was under the necessity of confining himself to his indoor trade of a working shoemaker.
