First Edition. In 1836 the United States government received a strange and unprecedented gift--a half-million dollar bequest to establish a foundation in Washington "for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men. " The Smithsonian Institution, as it would be called, eventually grew into the largest museum and research co…mplex in the world. Yet the man behind what became "America's attic, " James Smithson, has remained a shadowy figure for more than 150 years. Drawing on unpublished diaries and letters from across Europe and the United States, historian Heather Ewing tells his compelling story in full. The illegitimate son of the Duke of Northumberland, Smithson was the youngest member of Britain's Royal Society and a talented chemist admired by the greatest scientists of his age. At the same time, however, he was also a suspected spy, an inveterate gambler, and a radical revolutionary during the turbulent years of the Napoleonic Wars. But at the heart of Smithson's story is his bequest--worth $9 million in today in today's currency--which sparked an international lawsuit and a decade-long congressional battle, featuring a dizzying cast of historical figures, including John Quincy Adams, and Alexander Graham Bell, both of whom grappled with how--and even whether--to put Smithson's endowment to use. Fascinating and magisterial, Ewing's biography presents a sweeping portrait of a remarkable man at the center of the English Enlightenment and the creation of America's greatest museum.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st. 432 pages, illustrations, portraits; 25 cm. Tight, clean copy. Stated First U.S. Edition. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. A fine copy of the first printing. *** "The first ever biography of James Smithson, the Englishman who bequeathed his fortune to establish Wash…ington's Smithsonian Institute -- the largest museum and research complex in the world -- without ever having set foot in the United States. In 1836 the United States government received a strange and unprecedented gift -- a bequest of 104,960 gold sovereigns (then worth half a million dollars) to establish a foundation in Washington 'for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men.' The Smithsonian Institution, as it would eventually be called, grew into the largest museum and research complex in the world. Yet it owes its existence to an Englishman who never set foot in the United States, and who has remained a shadowy figure for more than a hundred and fifty years. Smithson lived a restless life in the capitals of Europe during the turbulent years of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars; at one time he was trailed by the French secret police, and later languished as a prisoner of war in Denmark for four long years. Yet despite a certain a penchant for gambling and fine living, he had, by the time of his death in Paris in 1829, amassed a financial fortune and a wealth of scientific papers that he left to the new democracy America. Spurned by his natural father and his country, he would be acknowledged for his own achievements in the New World. Drawing on unpublished diaries and letters from archives all over Europe and the United States, Heather Ewing tells the full and compelling story for the first time, revealing a life lived at the heart of the English Enlightenment and illuminating the mind that sparked the creation of America's greatest museum. / Heather Ewing is an architectural historian. She lives in New York." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Introduction; Dedication; Maps: The Journey to Staffa; The Grand Tour 1791-1797; Prologue 1865; 1. Descended from Kings; 2.
