520    Accessible exploration of the noteworthy scientific career
       of James Smithson, who left his fortune to establish the 
       Smithsonian Institution. James Smithson is best known as 
       the founder of the Smithsonian Institution, but few people
       know his full and fascinating story. He was a widely 
       respected chemist and mineralogist and a member of the 
       Royal Society, but in 1865, his letters, collection of 10,
       000 minerals, and more than 200 unpublished papers were 
       lost to a fire in the Smithsonian Castle. His scientific 
       legacy was further written off as insignificant in an 1879
       essay published through the Smithsonian fifty years after 
       his death--a claim that author Steven Turner demonstrates 
       is far from the truth. By providing scientific and 
       intellectual context to his work, The Science of James 
       Smithson is a comprehensive tribute to Smithson's 
       contributions to his fields, including chemistry, 
       mineralogy, and more. This detailed narrative illuminates 
       Smithson and his quest for knowledge at a time when 
       chemists still debated thing as basic as the nature of 
       fire, and struggled to maintain their networks amid the 
       ever-changing conditions of the French Revolution and the 
       Napoleonic Wars.
