Books by Richard Pulteney

This second edition of the first English-language biography of Linnaeus was originally published in 1805. It contains information on Linnaeus' life as well as details of both his major and unpublished works. This book is a rich source of information on a central figure in the history of botany.

Richard Pulteney (1730-1801) was a botanist and physician, influential in promoting the Linnaean system of classification in England. This 1790 two-volume examination of the development of botanical studies in Britain is still of great interest to botanists and garden historians.
