London and New York: Bloomsbury, Date: 2007. 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 Washington'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. ...

ISBN10: 1596910291, ISBN13: 9781596910294, [publisher: Bloomsbury] Hardcover First Edition First printing, very good + hardcover shows touch of soil to covers and page edges including a couple of light soil smudges at fore edge of a couple of pages and some other very light trace wear, in very good + dust jacket (price at flap) that shows a hint of exposure toning along spine and touch of edgewear. 432 pages with index and illustrations in black & white and a set of color plates. Still a pleasing copy of this work that ".paints the fullest picture to date of James Smithson and his compelling story."
