History
Anderson’s obituary notice in the Gentleman’s Magazine (Jan. 1817, p. 92), is as follows:
‘At West Ham, Essex, in consequence of a fall from his gig, George Anderson, esq. F. L. S. son of the late Dr. James Anderson, author of Essays on Agriculture, the Bee, and other Works. As a man of genius, erudition, and deep botanical research, his death is a severe loss to the scientific world, and will be long deplored by a numerous circle, both of learned and social friends.’
