Transcription
Knowlton sends plant specimens, each of which he describes in some detail. Thomas Knowlton (1691-1781) was a gardener and botanist. He corresponded with several members of the Royal Society before coming to the attention of Sir Hans Sloane. Knowlton discovered the ancient city of Delgovicia, near Pocklington in Yorkshire. His observations on the site were published in the Philosophical Transactions in 1748 (Thomas Seccombe, ‘Knowlton, Thomas (1691–1781)’, rev. P. E. Kell, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Sept 2012 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/15777, accessed 18 Aug 2014]).
