the late Professor Jameson. 7 
he, accompanied by the Doctor himself, went on several 
dredging expeditions down the Frith of Forth, and often 
was very successful in obtaining valuable zoological treasures.

Whilst attending Dr Walker, he commenced the study of 
an important branch of Natural History—Botany, and pursued 
this study with zeal and success. At this period Mr Jame- 
son became the friend of the late Dr Anderson, who had 
started a periodical named the Gee, in which he first sub- 
mitted his ideas as a mineralogist to the public. In 
vol. xiii. the first part of an Essay on Gems appeared, 
which was carried on throughout the volume. These papers 
were collected, and are preserved in the Professor’s library, 
as the first fruit of the industry by which in after life he 
attained high eminence as a mineralogist. 
In the year 1793 he visited London, where he was intro- 
duced to the principal scientific gentlemen of the metropolis.
