Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the life and legacy of James Smithson, an enigmatic Englishman who bequeathed his vast fortune to the United States to establish an institution that would promote the increase and diffusion of knowledge. Despite his significant contributions to science, particularly in chemistry and mineralogy, surprisingly little is known about Smithson's personal life and motivations. The author meticulously pieces together available information to create a compelling portrait of a dedicated scientist and philanthropist whose bequest had a profound impact on the scientific landscape of the United States. Through an exploration of Smithson's writings, personal effects, and the historical context of his time, the book sheds light on the factors that may have influenced his remarkable decision to leave his legacy to a nation he had never visited. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282978938_0
