Benjamin Meggot Forster : ウィキペディア英語版 | Benjamin Meggot Forster Benjamin Meggot Forster (16 January 1764 – 8 March 1829) was an English botanist and mycologist who wrote ''An Introduction to the Knowledge of Fungusses'' in 1820. ==Life== He was the second son of Edward Forster the elder and his wife Susanna, and was born in Walbrook, London, on 16 January 1764. He was educated with his brothers Edward Forster the younger and Thomas Furly Forster at Walthamstow, and became a member of the firm of Edward Forster & Sons, Russia merchants, but took little interest in business. He was one of the earliest advocates of slave emancipation, and one of the first members of the committee of 1788 against the slave trade. He also joined societies for the suppression of climbing chimney-sweepers, for diffusing knowledge about capital punishments, for affording refuge to the destitute, and for repressing cruelty to animals, being conscientiously opposed to field sports. He also framed the child-stealing act.〔 He never married, living with his father and mother till their death, when he took a cottage called Scotts, at Hale End, Walthamstow, where he died 8 March 1829.〔
