	JAMES SOWERBY - LoveToKnow Article on JAMES SOWERBY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		This was issued in parts, with the assistance first of his elder son, J. de C. Sowerby, and, after J. Sowerbys death (Oct. 25, 1822), of his second son, G. Sowerby, both the sons being themselves expert palaeontologists.
		The elder son, JAMES DE CARLE SOWERBY (1787-1871), was in 1838 one of the founders of the Royal Botanic Society, and was its secretary for thirty years.
		The younger son, GEORGE BRETTINGHAIII SOWERBY (1788-1854) was author of The Genera of Recent and Fossil Shells (1820-1825), and one of the editors of the Zoological Journal (1825-1826).

	Harvard Gazette: Graduate student Scott Sowerby finds surprising side to King James II
		Surely, James must have been a dismal failure as a king to have inspired his erstwhile subjects to call his expulsion "glorious," and for many years, historians assumed this to have been the case.
		Sowerby's most striking piece of evidence is a diary he found in a small, obscure record office in northern England in which the diarist recorded a speech made by James.
		Sowerby believes that James, rather than being an autocrat who tried to force an unwelcome religion on his subjects, was in fact an advocate of religious toleration whose vision of a nation in which each person was free to worship as he or she saw fit was too threatening to the Protestant establishment.

	L.H. Conklin - James Sowerby
		James Sowerby was a careful, meticulous and observant artisan and this is evident in the quality of the workmanship of the drawings he produced and the copperplates that he personally engraved and etched.
		Sowerby's technique for producing the plates was relatively simple: The copperplate-engraved outline of the mineral image was printed, usually in fl ink (in a few instances colored inks were used), on an octavo-sized sheet of paper; and was then hand-tinted within the printed outlines using watercolor paints.
		Sowerby's publications acted as a clearing-house, as it were, for observations and discoveries among the small number of geologists, mineralogists and botanists, who were widely scattered and who had little opportunity to exchange their ideas or many of their specimens.

	Sowerby, James (1757-1822)
		The Sowerby family is without equal in the history of natural history for the depth and variety of its contribution to science.
		James Sowerby was born on March 21, 1757, in the City of London; he died at No. 2-3 Mead Place, Lambeth, on October 25, 1822.
		Sowerby set himself two tasks with this work: he wished to re-emphasise the significance of brightness and darkness, which after Newton had fallen into obscurity; and he wished to clarify the difference which exists between colours.

		Sowerby sets himself two tasks with this work, which appeared in London in 1809: he wishes to re-emphasise the significance of brightness and darkness, which after Newton had fallen into obscurity; and he wishes to clarify the difference which exists between colours.
		Sowerby's system originated at the same time as the English doctor and physicist Thomas Young (1773-1829) submitted his theory (later to be confirmed) stating that the eye generates all colours by combining only three wavelengths.
