About the book >.>.> Sir Joseph Banks: Iceland and the North Atlantic 1772-1820 - Journals, Letters and Documents presents a comprehensive collection of the papers of Sir Joseph Banks, a prominent figure of Georgian England. Known for his role as a naturalist on the Endeavour voyage (1768-71) and as the longest-serving President of the Royal Society (1778-1820), Banks is celebrated for his contributions to science. This volume gathers together materials related to his connection with Iceland and the North Atlantic, many of which are published for the first time and are sourced from various repositories in Britain, the United States, Australia, and Denmark. A detailed introduction situates these documents within their historical context.Banks initiated his connection with Iceland in 1772 as he led the first British scientific expedition to the country, which he believed had rarely been visited by reputable naturalists. This journey involved sailing through the Western Isles, with a notable stop at Staffa to examine Fingal?s Cave. In Iceland, he spent six weeks conducting geological and botanical observations, including measuring the heights of Geysir and climbing Mount Hekla. His efforts resulted in an extensive collection of specimens, manuscripts, and books, many of which are now housed in the British Library. Recognised as the foremost British authority on Iceland, Banks played a vital political role during the Napoleonic Wars, advocating for British interests concerning Iceland, which was then under Danish control.The volume includes Banks's own journals, along with the writings of his servant James Roberts, and comprises approximately 300 documents, featuring memoranda and correspondence with various Icelanders, merchants, and prisoners-of-war, providing a rich insight into Banks's scientific and political engagements.
