CORRESPONDENCE OF DAWSON TURNER. Esq. F.R.S.

The correspondence contained in these 83 volumes consists of the letters received by Mr Dawson Turner between the years 1790 and 1851.

Mr Turner was originally entered at Pembroke College of which his uncle, Dr Joseph Turner, afterwards Dean of Norwich, was then Master, but after a year’s residence, owing to the illness of his father, James Turner, he left the University for the Banking house of Messrs Gurneys and Co, Great Yarmouth, in which his father was a partner.

Mr Turner became a Fellow of the Royal Society and of other learned societies. He corresponded with scientific men and foreign botanists from whom various letters will be found especially in the early volumes.

The collection is indexed throughout following the names of the writers.

Private letters from members of his family and others have been removed from the collection though they are referred to in the Index.

These volumes were presented to the Library of Trinity College in 1890 by Mr Turner’s last surviving daughter, Mrs Jacobson, widow of Dr Jacobson, formerly Bishop of Chester, and this statement is written by Mr Turner’s grandson,

R. H. Inglis Palgrave. 11 Feby. 1895.

(Declaimed 6 Dec. 1805. The leaves are bound out of order.)

(Misdated 1806.)

(Pasted to the letter is a sheet bearing a sonnet by Gent to his wife, headed ‘To Martha’.)
