About the Author

Dawson Turner FRS FSA was an English banker, botanist, and antiquary who lived from 18 October 1775 to 21 June 1858. He specialized in cryptogam botany and was the father-in-law of botanist William Jackson Hooker and historian Francis Palgrave.

He attended North Walsham Grammar School (now Paston College) in Norfolk and Barton Bendish as a botanist's student. He then went to Pembroke College, Cambridge, where his uncle, Rev. Joseph Turner, was the Master. He did not graduate, however, due to his father's grave sickness. He joined his father's bank in 1796. In his spare time after becoming a banker, he became more interested in botany, collecting specimens in the field. Turner promised to assist James Sowerby with specimens in 1794. Turner wrote several books and collaborated with other botanists. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in December 1802. He was named a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1816. He met Captain George Manby, an amateur artist, inventor, and Yarmouth barrack-master, through his first wife Mary.
