DNB: JOHNSTONE or JONSTON, JOHN (1603-1675), naturalist, grandson of John Johnstone of Craigieburn in Nithsdale, and son of Simon Johnstone, who had wandered to Poland in the beginning of the seventeenth century, by his wife Anna Becker, was born at Sambter in Posen, 3 Sept. 1603. After attending schools at Thorn in Prussia and elsewhere, he proceeded in 1622 to the university of St. Andrews, where he matriculated on 29 Jan. 1623-4, and studied with special distinction in Hebrew and natural science till March 1625 (St. Andrews' Matriculation Register). The next four years he spent abroad, but returned to England towards the close of 1629, taking courses of botany and medicine at Cambridge, and continuing his studies in London during 1630, when he wrote the greater part of his first important work, the 'Thaumatographia.' .He next proceeded to Leyden, where he graduated M.D. in 1632, and visiting England for the third time in that year with two young Polish nobles, his pupils, was admitted to the same degree ad eundem at Cambridge. After more travel on the continent Johnstone appears to have settled in Leyden about 1634. He practised medicine there for several years and obtained a great reputation. He was offered the chair of medicine at the university of Leyden in 1640, and two years later a similar offer was made by the elector of Brandenburg. Johnstone, however, preferred to study independently. He retired in 1655 to his private estate, near Liegnitz in Silesia, where he continued until his death on 8 June 1675. He was buried at Lessno in Poland.Johnstone was twice married, first, in 1637, to Rosina, daughter of Samuel Hortensius of Fraustadt; secondly, in 1638, to Anna, daughter of Mathias Vechner, by whom he had four children. One daughter, Anna Regina, who married Samuel von Schoff, a noble of Breslau, alone survived him.Johnstone's works were for the most part extremely laborious compilations, and according to Chaufepié and other critics they exhibit more learning than judgment; they were, however, much esteemed in England during the seventeenth century (cf. Wilkes, Encycl. Londinensis, xi. 235). T.

Tall 4to. (335 x 211 mm) 228, [4] pp. 47 plates; text with some foxing. Original paper over boards. Housed in a custom clamshell box. Rare. FINE. An extensive work on the morphology of boned fish, cartilaginous fish (sharks, rays, skates) and cetaceans. This work is illustrated with forty-seven full-page engraved plates that are executed in superb form. Plate XLII shows a beached baleen whale and its enormous size, compared to the men in the engraving. A bit fanciful, plate XL shows a pair of Mermen; a fish on plate XXVII has the features of a human face whilst a 'shark' on plate VII has semi-human fore-limbs. Except for these anomalies, the zoological drawings are quite dramatic and relatively accurate. Jonston's works were frequently re-edited and translated into German, Latin, Dutch and English. Born in Poland, but of Scottish origin, Jonston was educated and traveled extensively. He attended St. Andrews (1623-5), studying botany and medicine at Cambridge, Leiden, and Frankfurt Universities. He earned degrees from Cambridge and in Leiden, his M. D. in 1632, where he later practiced medicine and gained a great reputation. In 1642 he briefly taught at Frankfurt as professor of medicine. He retired to his private estate in Silesia in 1655. His "four dictionary-style works on fish, birds, quadrupeds and insects -- published between 1650 and 1653 with excellent illustrations -- were widely read and translated." [DSB].

A beautiful copy First edition of the first work by Joannes Jonston (1603-1675), born in Poland but of Scottish origin. Jonston was the author of many works on natural history, medicine an other topics. Although his work was criticized for lack of originality, he undisputably made a significant contribution to the popularity of natural history during the first half of the seventeenth century. The present treatise on natural wonders is divided into 10 parts on different subjects. The sky and new stars, the elements, meteors, fossils or minerals, plants, birds, quadrupeds, invertebrates, fish and men are treated. The work was very popular, it was republished in 1633, 1661, and 1665. An English translation, A history of the wonderful things of nature was published in 1657. Later Jonston used this work as a basis for more specialized texts.
