John Donaldson (1799–1876) was Scottish agriculturalist, professor of Botany at the Royal Agricultural Training School, Hoddesdon, government land drainage surveyor, and author of prize essays works,〔Frederick Law Olmsted (1852) ''Walks and Talks of an American Farmer in England.'' p. 483〕 best known as author of the 1854 ''Agricultural Biography.''〔William White (1888) "John Donaldson F.S.A." in: ''Notes & Queries,'' 1888. p. 4〕
== Biography ==
Donaldson was born in Northumberland in 1799. He was probably related to James Donaldson (fl. 1794),〔Gordon Goodwin. ''Donaldson, James (fl.1794),'' in ''Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900'', Volume 15.〕 writer on agriculture and land surveyor from Dundee, whose subjects he made his own.
In his early years in the 1820s Donalson had the management of large farms, and extensive estates, such as those of Loudon Castle in Ayrshire, and Donnington Park in Leicestershire, both in Scotland and England.〔John Claudius Loudon ''(The Gardener's Magazine and Register of Rural & Domestic Improvement ),'' Vol. 6 (1840), p. 94-95〕 In the 1840s Donaldson was appointed Head of Agricultural School at Hoddesdon, which at that time had just been established.〔George Edwin Fussell. ''Agricultural history in Great Britain and western Europe before 1914: a discursive bibliography.'' Pindar Press, 1983. p. 28〕 In the title pages of his chief writings, Donaldson is described as "Professor of Botany" and "Government Land Drainage Survey."〔Thomas Seccombe. Donaldson, John (1799-1876) in Sidney Lee. ''Dictionary of National Biography'', 1901 supplement. London: Smith, Elder & Co〕 He was elected Fellows of the Society of Antiquaries of London.〔
Donaldson was presented to the Charterhouse by the Prince Consort in August 1855, and died a poor brother there on 22 March 1876, leaving a will in favour of Elizabeth Saine, a widow.〔''Times'', 29 March 1876: an account of the inquest of which Donaldson's sudden death by syncope was the cause.〕 In the year after his death a posthumous work on 'Suburban Farming' was edited by Robert Scott Burn.〔
