Lewin, John William (? 1770-1819). His tombstone in 
La Perouse Cemetery (transferred from Devonshire Street) 
states that he died 27th August, 1819, aged 49 years. An 
artist who depicted many New South Wales plants. He 
landed in Sydney in 1798 (H.M.S. Buffalo), I have stated 
all I knew of him at that time in Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., 
xxvii, 746 (1902). He was coroner at the time of his death. 
The late Hon. P. G. King, M.L.c., gave me the following 
memorandum dated 27th October, 1901, referring to Lewin’s 
drawings of native plants then in his possession. The 
drawings were lent by Mr. King for study. At his death 
they became the property of his grand-daughter, Miss 
Goldfinch, who kindly presented seven of them to the 
Botanic Gardens, where they are framed. 
“Remarks on the history of this collection of drawings of 
Australian plants.—There appear to have been two sets of draw- 
ings by J. W. Lewin in 1805, 1808. There is a pencil note on the 
drawing of Macrozamia signed J. W. Lewin, 30th August, 1805. 
‘This is for the Governor’s collection. Mrs. King’s is already 
done.’ Mr. Lewin very seldom signed the papers. In Mrs. King’s 
collection there is a drawing of the Mimosa signed by him, also of 
Kennedya No. 262. There are two figures of the Zamia and 
someone has pencilled on one of them ‘same as 178 and 179’ but 
the 179 is erased. Nearly all the drawings have been numbered, 
but I have no trace of the catalogue to which the numbers referred. . 
The names have been pencilled in by Allan Cunningham perhaps 
about the year 1840 (he died in 1839) when he was at Vineyard 
where Mr. Governor King resided with H. H. McArthur and his. 
family. Allan Cunningham’s initials, A.C, occur occasionally see
