William Jardine (naturalist) : ウィキペディア英語版
Sir William Jardine, 7th Baronet


Sir William Jardine, 7th Baronet of Applegirth, Dumfriesshire (23 February 1800 in Edinburgh – 21 November 1874 in Sandown, Isle of Wight) was a Scottish naturalist.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Papers of Sir William Jardine (1800-1874) )〕 He is known for his editing of a long series of natural history books, ''The Naturalist's Library''.
==Life and work==
Jardine was a co-founder of the Berwickshire Naturalists' Club, and contributed to the founding of the Ray Society.〔Osbert Salvin (Editor), ''Ibis, Quarterly Journal of Ornithology'', Vol.V, 1875, (page 522 )〕 He was "keenly addicted to field-sports, and a master equally of the rod and the gun". While ornithology was his main passion, he also studied ichthyology, botany and geology, writing a work on burrows and traces, the ''Ichnology of Annandale'', his ancestral estate. His private natural history museum and library are said to have been the finest in Britain.〔Jackson and Davis, 2001.〕
Jardine made natural history available to all levels of Victorian society by editing the hugely popular forty volumes of ''The Naturalist's Library'' (1833-1843) issued and published by his brother in law, the Edinburgh printer and engraver, William Home Lizards. 〔 Susan Sheets-Pyenson "War and Peace in Natural History Publishing:''The Naturalist's Library,'' 1833-1843'' ''ISIS (journal) 1981, v.72 (no. 261) pp.50-72 〕The series was divided into four main sections: Ornithology (14 volumes), Mammalia (13 volumes), Entomology (7 volumes), and Ichthyology (6 volumes); each prepared by a leading naturalist. James Duncan wrote the insect volumes. The artists responsible for the illustrations included Edward Lear. The work was published in Edinburgh by W. H. Lizars. The frontispiece is a portrait of Pierre André Latreille.
His other publications included an edition of Gilbert White's ''Natural History of Selborne'' which re-established White's reputation, ''Illustrations of Ornithology'' (1825–43), and an affordable edition of Alexander Wilson's ''Birds of America''.
Jardine described of a number of bird species, alone or in conjunction with his friend Prideaux John Selby.
