Of great value for the extensive notes on agriculture botany medicine and herbalism. Martyn 1699-1768 was born in London the son of a merchant. He attended a school in the vicinity of his home and when he turned 16 worked for his father intending to follow a business career. He married Marie Anne Fonnereau daughter of Claude Fonnereau a Huguenot refugee who had settled in England and became a successful merchant. He abandoned this idea in favour of medical and botanical studies. His interest in botany came from his acquaintance with an apothecary John Wilmer and Dr. Patrick Blair a surgeon-apothecary from Dundee who practiced in London. Martyn gave some botanical lectures in London in 1721 and 1726 and in 1727 was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London. Martyn was one of the founders with Johann Jacob Dillenius and others and the secretary of a botanical society which met for a few years in the Rainbow coffee-house Watling Street. In 1732 he was appointed Professor of Botany at Cambridge University but finding little encouragement and hampered by a lack of equipment he soon ceased lecturing. He retained his professorship however until 1768 when he resigned in favour of his son Thomas. On resigning the botanical chair at Cambridge he presented the university with a number of his botanical specimens and books. Full Leather. Good. John Exshaw Hardcover
