Each Professor claiming that the specimens left to him were useless and moth eaten and that the collection would have to be newly begun to be of any value.
In 1812, the collection that Jameson had begun to amass was given the title, 'Royal Museum of the University', and moved to rooms in the then newly built University Quadrangle.
Jameson died in 1854, but not before having arranged that the collection, then numbering some 74,000 specimens, was to be housed in a new National Museum.

Robert Jameson succeeded Walker in 1804 only to be faced with the latter's family and trustees who claimed the collection as their own.

Jameson suggested many methods of preservation and preparation in his instructions which must have seemed highly dubious to the uninformed layman.

 Patterson: The "Anna Jameson and her Friends Database"
It was, however, a purely fictitious work, although one based on Jameson's experiences as a governess travelling in Italy with her young charge, and, I suppose, a troubled rather than broken heart as she had recently broken off her engagement to Robert Jameson whom she later was to marry.
Later, Jameson was one of the circle around Elizabeth Jesser Reid, the founder of Bedford College (1849), the first college for women run by women, and towards the end of her life she was instrumental in the founding and development of the Englishwoman's Journal (1858), widely acknowledged as the first feminist periodical in Britain.
Jameson's complete correspondence has never been published although excerpts and entire letters appear in the three biographies[1] about her, some letters can be found in other published correspondences, and her letters to Ottilie von Goethe edited by G.H. Needler were published in 1939.

Edward Frankland - Professor of chemistry at the Royal Institution.
Darwin also attended Professor Robert Jameson's lectures on Geology, and ironically he found himself dreadfully bored with the subject, and vowed never to read or study geology again.
He continued working with the variation of species and now saw that the methods of nature and breeders were not all that different, but while nature worked on millions of characteristics, breeders worked on only a few.
