Samuel Doody and his Books

David Thorley

Based on title page inscriptions, the online catalogue of Sloane Printed Books identifies forty- one volumes as having been owned by ‘J. Doody’ or ‘John Doody’.1 Typically, these inscriptions have been taken to indicate that the books were ex libris John Doody (1616-1680) of Stafford, the father of the botanist and apothecary Samuel Doody (1656-1706), but he may not (or at least may not always) be the John Doody to whom the inscriptions refer.2 While it is plausible that several of these books did belong to that John Doody, it is impossible that all of them were his: at least seven inscribed with the name were published after 1680, the year of his death. Only two books can certainly be said to have passed through his hands. First, a 1667 copy of Culpeper’s English translation of the Pharmacopœia Londinensis (shelfmark 777.b.3), bears several marks of ownership. On the reverse of the title page is inscribed in secretary characters ‘John Doodie his book’, while the phrase ‘John Doodie de Stafford’ appears on pp. 53 and 287, and the words ‘John Doodie de Stafford in Cometatu’ are written on to p. 305. A further inscription on the final page of Culpeper’s appendix giving ‘A Synopsis of the KEY ofGalen’s Method of Physick’ reads ‘John Doodie de Stafford ownth this booke and giue Joye theron to looke’. In two other places, longer inscriptions have been obliterated. Second, a 1581 edition of Dioscorides’s Alphabetum Empiricum (shelfmark 778.a.3) contains annotations in apparently the same hand that inscribed the 1667 Pharmacopœia. One thing that can be ascertained is that, at one point or another, several and perhaps all of these books belonged to Samuel Doody. None of the dates of publication falls after his death in 1706, and the date 1707 written into two copies suggests the volumes may have been acquired in the aftermath of that event. The most plausible candidate for the author and subject of the title page inscriptions is Samuel’s nephew John Doody (1687-1753), who in the years preceding Samuel’s death worked as his apprentice. A good sample of the younger John Doody’s hand for comparison with the inscriptions is difficult to come by, but they bear similarities to the the name ‘John Doody’ as it is elaborately written on to f. 1r of Sloane MS. 2318 (a book containing business notes in Samuel Doody’s hand as well as at least three others). More substantial evidence of Samuel Doody’s ownership of these books is that, although the catalogue does not always acknowledge it, three volumes, all works of botanical cataloguing, are interleaved with pages containing notes in his hand. The entry for a copy of John Ray’s Synopsis Methodica Stirpium Britannicarum of 1696 (shelfmark 969.f.21) is described as ‘Interleaved, with copious ms notes by J Doody and J Petiver’. The book does indeed contain numerous annotations in several hands, but the one that dominates is Samuel Doody’s. A copy of James Petiver’s catalogue of his botanical collection, Musei Petiveriani (shelfmark 972.g.2) and a 1648 catalogue of the plants in the botanical collection at Oxford (shelfmark 449.a.49) are similarly interleaved with pages of notes in Doody’s hand. Additionally, a copy of the 1591 Icones Stirpivm Sev Plantarvm Tam Exoticarvm Qvam Indigenarvm (shelfmark 443.a.3) by the Flemish physician and botanist to James I Matthias L’Obel contains notes in a small, neat hand that uses secretary characters for English and italic for Latin. In the later parts of the volume, these give way to annotations in

Samuel Doody’s distinctively uncareful script. Appendix I lists the books from the Sloane library identified as belonging to the Doody collection. This evidence, and the facts that (as I will discuss) Samuel Doody and Sloane were acquaintances, the collection appears to reflect several of Doody’s professional interests, and four of the titles match recorded purchases made by Doody at book auctions, leads me to think it likely that many of the Sloane printed books bearing a ‘J. Doody’ or ‘John Doody’ inscription were once Samuel Doody’s.3 John Doody’s will made no specific provision for his books but, after disposing of his properties and modest fortune, bequeathed the residue of his estate to his son, Samuel’s younger brother, Joseph Doody as his ‘full and onely executor’.4 There is no record of whether Joseph allowed Samuel to take possession of some or all of their father’s books. Samuel died unmarried in 1706, willing the bulk of his estate to Joseph Doody, who too died the following year.5 It is also possible that it was through the mediation of the younger John Doody, Joseph’s son and Samuel’s apprentice, that the books found their way to Sloane (though John was neither the executor of his father’s will nor its main beneficiary), although it seems Sloane acquired Doody books at different dates. Those of the texts that bear alphanumeric Sloane numbers suggest that they came to him in groups, with the majority entering his collection between 1712 and 1723.6 No evidence survives as to the overall size of Samuel Doody’s book collection, but at least Doody’s purchases at two important book auctions can be added to these surviving items. In 1682, Doody was a buyer at the sale of Richard Smith’s library, acquiring 30 lots. The auctioneer’s annotated catalogue survives in the British Library, and Appendix II lists Doody’s purchases at the Smith sale.7 Most significantly, Doody participated in the 1686 sale of the library of Arthur Annesley, the Earl of Anglesey. This vast collection contained more than 8,500 items and, following the death of Henry Oldenburg in 1677, had incorporated a substantial portion of Oldenburg’s library.8 Thanks again to the survival of the hammer catalogue, Doody’s acquisition of 158 lots at the sale of Annesley’s books can be traced; these purchases are listed in Appendix III.9

3 The three volumes listed among Doody’s purchases at the Anglesey auction that survive among the Sloane printed books are: Henry Briggs, Logarithmorum Chilias Prima (London, 1617); Diocese of Lincoln, An Abridgment of that Booke which the Ministers of Lincoln Diocess Delivered to his Majestie upon the First of December Last (London, 1618); and Archibald Simson, Hieroglyphica Animalium Terrestrium (Edinburgh, 1622-4). See Appendix I:10, 25 and 35 / Appendix II:23, 90 and 131. The surviving volume that Doody acquired at the Smith sale is Joannes Chrysostomus Magnenus, De Manna (Pavia, 1648) (Appendix I:28 / Appendix II:28). 4 John Doody’s will is in Lichfield Record Office, Lichfield Consistory Court Wills, 1650-1700, B/C/11.

Attempts to relate the life stories of Samuel and the two John Doodys have been bedevilled by misinformation, and I will begin by sketching a biography of each that is borne out by primary evidence. After that, I will discuss the Sloane books bearing the Doody inscription, as well as Samuel Doody’s book buying at the Smith and Anglesey sales. Lastly, I will discuss Doody’s annotations and interleavings and the collaborative programme of botanical enumeration to which he was contributing by making them.

Relevant Doody family members

I. Lives of the Doody family i. John Doody (1616-1680) A few biographical details of the Doody family are sketched in Sloane MS. 2353, one of Samuel’s youthful notebooks,10 and confirmed in the relevant parish registers. John Doody was born on 13 November 1616, at Pillaton in the parish of Penkridge, Staffordshire. His father, also called John Doody, had been born in the same parish on 5 January 1578, and lived until 24 March 1658. John Doody (fils) was married once on 13 October 1644, and remarried on 25 August 1655 to Anne Nicklin, with whom he had two sons (Samuel b. 1656, and Joseph b. 1658). It is said in several places that Doody was an apothecary who left Staffordshire for London, but I have found nothing to support the claim beyond an interest in medical topics indicated by his ownership of the Pharmacopœia Londinensis and Dioscorides’s Alphabetum Empiricum. The Society of Apothecaries’ records for the relevant period contain no reference to him. It is probable that confusion between John Doody (1616- 1680) and his grandson, John Doody (1687-1753), Samuel’s nephew, is responsible for the error. It seems to have found its way into the popular accounts of the Doodys via Samuel Doody’s entry in the 1888 Dictionary of National Biography which describes the botanist as ‘the eldest of the second family of his father John Doody, an apothecary in Staffordshire, who afterwards removed to London, where he had a shop in the Strand’, adding ‘He was brought up to his father’s business, to which he

10 The British Library online manuscript catalogue mistakenly ascribes Sloane MS. 2353 to ‘Doody (John), Sen.’ The words ‘J. DOODY MEDICAL RECEIPTS’ stamped on the volume’s spine are similarly mistaken. Both the hand and the volume’s contents identify the text as Samuel Doody’s. The details of the Doody family are given on ff. 5rv.

succeeded about 1696’. 11 Charles Raven, in his 1950 biography of John Ray, repeated the details that Samuel ‘Doody was the son of an apothecary and worked in his father’s shop in the Strand’, and they are rehearsed again in Samuel Doody’s revised entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. But John Doody, did not, it seems, practise as an apothecary nor come to London; he inherited a property in Yoxall and purchased another in Stafford, a malthouse and inn, of which he was the owner and licensee from 1650 until his death, becoming one of the town’s chief producers of malt. He died in 1680, buried at St Mary’s Church, Stafford, with his will, proved in the Lichfield Consistory Courts, giving the deceased’s occupation as ‘maltster’. His properties were bequeathed to his sons: the Yoxall premises to Samuel Doody and the Stafford property to Joseph Doody.12 ii. Samuel Doody (1656-1706) Samuel Doody is the member of the family best remembered by history, with information on his relatives scant. He was born in the parish of St Mary, Stafford on 28 May 1656, and took up an apprenticeship as an apothecary in 1672, working as maltster to John Solley before transferring to the mentorship of Anthony Basset.13 Sloane MS. 2353, which contains numerous recipes and snippets of pharmaceutical information, offers some record of his training during this period; the scraps of diaristic notes it contains place its compilation between July 1675 and March the following year. The volume reflects the pragmatic aspects of Doody’s education (apothecary training typically demanding both academic and practical ability), and his grounding in the nitty gritty of preparing up-to-date cures recommended by various physicians, especially those of the Royal College.14 The physicians whose recipes are listed include Thomas Short (d. 1685), Richard Lower (1613-1691), Edward Alston (d. 1669), Thomas Coxe (d. 1684/5), John Micklethwaite (1612-1682), and Thomas Willis (1621-1675).15 The volume contains snatches of diaristic notes and various pieces copied from Doody’s reading. Several pages are given over to a detailed account of the preparation and effect of ‘sympathetical powder’ made famous by Kenelm Digby, and Doody’s interests in astrological medicine are further attested to by his reproduction of Joseph Blagrave’s preparation for the weapon-salve from the astrologer’s 1671 Practice of Physick.16 Other entries indicate Doody’s engagement with London trade (‘T Lawson at great Stricklands to be left with James Collison a woollen draper in Ldn with Comberland’),17 and medical prescriptions were not confined to those from College physicians: recipes for a stomach julep and an ‘Apophlegmotisme’ are attributed to the apothecary Richard Tomlinson. Doody also took note of Tomlinson’s grandiloquent dedicatory epistle for his

translation of Jean de Renou’s Medicinal Dispensatory (1657), which had issued a clarion call to the healing professions, in spite of the ‘calumnies’ recently ‘hurled upon both Physicians and Apothecaries’, to ‘let the World taste of the fruits of your labours; fear not the gurmundizing jaws of Zoilus, that with the Mastives of Cyrum, bark against the Moon’.18 Sloane MS. 2297, a later notebook, contains further recipes by College physicians including William Stanes (1610-1679/80), John Bathurst (1607-1659), Richard Morton (1638-1698) Christopher Terne (1620-73) and Nathaniel Hodges (1629-88). 19 The famous German physician and alchemist Daniel Sennert (1572-1637) figures, as again does Digby. Many of the recipes Doody recorded were in wider use by leading English or European physicians. The evidence of Doody’s surviving medical notes points to an apothecary’s practice grounded in chemical principles and, while broad-based, distinctly influenced by reforming Helmontian physicians, a profile reflected in his book buying. The origins of pulvis de gutteta, which Doody listed in his recipe book were typically attributed to the influential Lazare Rivière, Galenic by disposition but whose ideas were receptive to chemical thinking and practice. The preparation was, hence, recommended by the likes of John Floyer (a fellow Staffordshire man and a devotee of medical innovation, who, like Rivière, tended to interpret it in Galenic terms) as well as Thomas Willis (Doody’s interest in Willis is confirmed by the appearance of his name in other notebooks and the acquisition of his Diatribæ Duæ Medico-philosophicæ (1659) at the Anglesey auction). The unguentum pomatum listed in Doody’s medical notes is also to be found in pharmaceutical works by the early College physician George Bate (suspected at the Restoration of having euthanized Cromwell) and William Salmon, who posthumously edited Bate’s pharmacopoeia.20 From 1685 until 1705, the Westminster rate books record Doody’s residence at various addresses in the area of the Strand. A 1686 prospectus for a subscription-funded edition of Thomas Guidott’s treatise on mineral baths, De Thermis Britannicis, lists among its ‘Persons appointed to receive subscriptions’ a ‘Mr. Samuel Doody, Apothecary, at the two Pestles and Mortars against Salisbury- House in the Strand’.21 In the 1690s, Doody gained reputation for his botanical knowledge, contributing, along with Sloane, Petiver, Jacob Bobart and Tancred Robinson, to John Ray’s Synopsis Methodica Stirpium Britannicarum in 1690.22 Correspondence survives between Doody and Edward Lhwyd, the keeper of the Ashmolean Museum, but other letters are relatively scarce; he was certainly known to Leonard Plukenet and, as well as Petiver, his circle included the botanist Adam Buddle.23 A book of botanical and other notes shows that in 1687 he kept a private garden, and gives occasional lists of the plants he hoped to acquire for it.24 In 1692, he took control of the Society of Apothecaries’ physic garden at Chelsea, receiving a salary of £100, and becoming lessee of the garden in 1696 after which he no longer took the salary. Petiver was instructed to assist. During this period, Doody set about expanding the garden’s collection of exotic plants.25 He was also elected as a

member of the group advising the Society in its late seventeenth-century disputes with the College of Physicians.26 He and Petiver were both made Fellows of the Royal Society on 27 November 1695. iii. John Doody (1687-1753) Born in 1687 and baptized at the family church, St Mary, Stafford, John Doody (1687-1753) was the eldest of Joseph (1658-1707) and Anne Doody’s eight children. Less is known of John than of his younger brother, Samuel (1693-1727). After his birth in 1693, Samuel first appears in a letter of 1703, in which Joseph Doody asked Petiver, a friend of the family and apothecary to the London Charterhouse, to help secure Samuel a place at the institution’s school.27 His petition appears to have succeeded: Samuel was admitted to Charterhouse as an exhibitioner, after which in 1711, aged seventeen, he entered Trinity College, Cambridge, as a pensioner, becoming college librarian in 1717 and serving until 1721, when he was ordained at Lincoln Cathedral. From then Samuel served as a chaplain of Monks’ Kirby in Warwickshire (a living granted him by Trinity College) until his death in 1727.28 John did not turn to university life, but followed his uncle to London, to train as his maltster. The archives of the Society of Apothecaries show that John became bound to Samuel Doody on 3 June 1703. His career as an apothecary seems barely to have troubled the historical record, but a manuscript containing inventories of Samuel Doody’s shop on the Strand up to the year of Samuel’s death survives among the Sloane manuscripts.29 Another volume containing epitaphs is also attributed to this John Doody.30 It is not clear whether he took over Samuel Doody’s apothecary business but, if so, he seems not to have thrived, returning, at some point after Samuel’s death, to Stafford to take over running the malthouse built by John Doody (1616-1680) which was owned and run by Joseph’s widow Anne Doody from Joseph’s death in 1707 until hers in 1728. John died a widower in 1753 and left the property to niece and nephew Anne and Joseph Newbold.31

II. Doody books in the Sloane collection

Of the 41 Sloane books bearing a Doody inscription, medicine and botany are the two subjects that dominate. Thirteen texts have medical themes, while eight are botanical. The medical books cover the range of the field from traditional Galenism to reforming chemistry and new anatomy, as well as pharmaceutical works from the ancient world to the restoration. A trio of Classical texts is comprised by the 1538 Paris edition of Galen’s Methodus Medendi, the French scholar- physician Jean Vasses’s 1543 edition of Galen’s commentary on Hippocrates’s Ιπποκρατους, and Caspar Wolf’s 1581 translation of the Alphabetum Empiricum, a text known only through this edition and whose traditional attribution to Dioscorides is uncertain. This last book contains some cancelled annotations in a secretary hand on its rear flyleaf, perhaps implying that the text originated in the collection of John Doody senior. The surgeon Giovanni Francesco Rota’s 1555

treatise on the treatment of gunshot wounds, De Tormentariorum Vulnerum Natura et Curatione, Johannes Baptista Donatius’s Rei Medicæ Studio (1606) and Johannes Guinther’s Anatomicarum Institutionum ex Galeni (1613) are further representatives of the traditionalist medical strain, while Girolamo Capivaccio’s Ordinarii de lue Venerea Acroaseis (1590) belongs to a strand of philosophical, rather than practical, works in the Galenic tradition.32 The appearance of a 1554 edition of Conrad Gesner’s popular Thesaurus Evonymi Philiatri represents an interest in the practicalities of distillation and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Texts critical of Galenic medicine in the collection include Marco Cornacchini’s Methodus qua omnes humani corporis (1619), with atomist positions represented by Johann Chrysostom Magnenus and Leonardo Di Capua.33 The anatomist Gaspar Asellius, less well remembered by history than his contemporaries Fallopius and Eustachius, is nonetheless among the authors in Doody’s library.34 While the 1667 edition of Culpeper’s Pharmacopœia Londinensis that survives in the Sloane collection belonged to the older John Doody, Samuel Doody’s fascination with that text is testified to by his acquisition of two earlier editions at the Anglesey auction. The botanical books consist of works of taxonomy and cataloguing from around Europe. Only two of the eight (the two texts by L’Obel) have publication dates falling before the dawn of the seventeenth century, with 1648 the earliest date for the remaining six. Three of the books on the subject were authored by Doody’s close colleagues in the field of botanical taxonomy (two by Ray and one by Petiver). The remaining three texts were catalogues of botanical gardens in Oxford (1648) and Edinburgh (1683) and the Royal gardens in Paris (1665). The Paris text by Denis Joncquet is not annotated except by the title page inscription, and the Edinburgh catalogue bears Latin annotations in at least two hands but not Doody’s, indicating the names of variant species and marking out occasional entries with manicules. The Oxford text, however, is interleaved with several pages of Latin additions by Doody. The front and rear endpapers are also filled with notes, including cross-references to articles from the Royal Society’s Philosophical Transactions on dyeing with kermes grains, and the production of sea salt by evaporation.35 Plainly Doody kept this catalogue as a working text. Beyond the medical and botanical texts, there is another, looser, subset on other natural philosophical topics. Most typical of Doody’s interests and associations is his copy of Ray’s account of his and Francis Willughby’s natural historical observations on their continental

journeys of the 1660s, Observations Topographical, Moral, and Physiological, which Doody held in the 1693 edition. As well as observations culled from nature, he also collected works making natural historical inferences from scripture. Copies of the German philosopher Georgius Hornius’s Arca Mosis, sive Historia Mundi (1668) and the Scottish minister Archibald Simson’s treatise on the animals of the Bible, Hieroglyphica Animalium Terrestrium (1622-4), both carry the ‘J. Doody’ inscription without further distinguishing marks of ownership.36 A more popular and influential work informing seventeenth-century natural philosophical thought from a theological perspective was Thomas Browne’s Religio Medici, which Doody owned in a 1652 Strasbourg edition. Interest in practical mathematics is indicated by the presence of Henry Brigg’s 1617 Logarithmorum Chilias Prima (acquired at the Anglesey auction) and John Taylor’s The Semicircle on a Sector (1667); Raymundus Mailhat’s Summa Philosophiæ (1664) ensured that the topic of logic was also covered. Evidence of engagement with debates about the ongoing viability of scholastic philosophy in the seventeenth century lies in the presence of Gerard and Arnold Boate’s anti-Aristotelian Philosophia Naturalis Reformata (1641), while two editions of Aristotle’s Nichomachean Ethics published in the 1570s, including Nicolas de Grouchy’s Latin text annotated in a secretary hand, suggests either a willingness to approach Aristotle open mindedly, text by text, or perhaps that these were books inherited by Samuel Doody’s library. An interest in alchemy is hinted at by the presence of Ubergius Baro’s Aphorismi Urbigerani (1690). All that remains to be accounted for among the holdings of the Doody books so far identified in the British Library are those on non-scientific/medical topics. A smattering of religious texts is intriguing, comprising the freethinker Charles Blount’s account of the immortality of the soul, Anima Mundi (1679), Homo Omnia (1671), an essay of moral philosophy by the Franciscan Friar Richard Mason (otherwise known as Angelus à Sancto Francisco), and the 1617 Lincoln ministers’ defence of their non-conforming diocese members who declined the Crown’s enforcement of the prayer book and certain ceremonies. Literary books in the collection are a 1661 edition of the poetical works of the French poet and dramatist Theophile de Vau, and a 1540 Venice edition of The Decameron in Italian. Political concerns are reflected only in the presence of the controversial physician George Bate’s account of That Horrid Murder of our Late Pious and Sacred Soveraigne King Charles the First (1661), and the topic of heraldry is represented by John Gibbon’s Introductio ad Latinam Blasoniam (1682). Secure conclusions from the partial and disparate fragments of the collection as it survives are difficult to draw, but clearer light may be shed on Samuel Doody’s books by the surviving records of his acquisitions at auction.

III. Doody’s book buying i. From the Smith auction The sale of Richard Smith’s library on 15 May 1682 has been a source of fascination for bibliographers, largely because of the range of personnel making purchases. Among the eminent buyers were John Locke, John Dryden, Richard Baxter, Jonas Moore (the younger), Isaac Vossius, Robert Hooke, Francis Lodwick, and of course, Sloane. Scholars have plundered the hammer catalogue for details of their subjects’ acquisitions.37 Doody’s purchase of thirty lots (thirty-seven books) is comparable

36 On Hornius, see Giovanni Santinello, Models of the History of Philosophy: From its Origins in the Renaissance to the ‘Historia Philosophica’ (Dordrecht, 1993), pp. 236-259. Precious little has been written about Simson, but an account of his career, focusing on his acts of ecclesiastical dissent, is W. J. Couper, ‘The Levitical Family of Simson; IV Final Records’, Scottish Church History Society Records, v (1935), pp.117-39 (118-24). 37 For an account of the sale, see Birrell, ‘Books and Buyers’, pp. 55-8. For a list of Francis Lodwick and Robert Hooke’s purchases at the sale, as well as notes on others, see Felicity Henderson and William Poole, ‘The Library Lists of Francis Lodwick FRS (1619-1694): An Introduction to Sloane MSS. 855 and 859, and a Searchable Transcript’, eBLJ, 2009, Article 1, pp.1-162, http://www.bl.uk/eblj/2009articles/article1.html, pp.10-13. Henderson and Poole worked from the Bodleian Library transcript of the auctioneer’s notes, and some of the prices given in their lists of Hooke and Lodwick’s acquisitions differ from those entered in the British Library text (821.i.3.(1.) / Mic.A.1343). Possibly, the Bodleian facsimile is not an accurate transcription.

to the acquisitions of Hooke (thirty-one books) and Lodwick (twenty-seven). Dryden’s agent, Mr Orme, acquired ninety-four books on his employer’s behalf, while Sloane bought forty-three. Petiver made an appearance to purchase three volumes. It is an indication of the nascent stage of Sloane’s book collecting at this point, as well perhaps as his instinct for a bargain, that Doody outspent him at the Smith sale in spite of acquiring more than a dozen lots fewer: Doody’s spend for his thirty lots was £2 4s 7d, while Sloane outlayed £1 10s 11d on his forty-three. Hooke, who made a couple of extravagant purchases including a folio copy of John Parkinson’s Theatre of Plants, or Compleat Herbal (1640), for £2 5s, substantially outspent both of them, paying £5 4s 5d to acquire twenty- seven lots. The Theatre of Plants and a copy of Parkinson’s Garden of Flowers (1629) acquired for 10s pushed Hooke’s average spend per lot up to 3s 10d as compared to Sloane’s 9d and Doody’s 1s 6d. Each of these figures is comfortably below the average spend per lot for the auction of 6s 8d. All Doody’s purchases fall into the broad categories of medicine, chemistry and botany, some straddling the boundaries of these complementary disciplines. If there was a temptation to dismiss the range of positions covered by the surviving books in the British Library as an illusion produced by the collection’s partial survival or perhaps the inclusion of texts that were never his, Doody’s purchases from the Smith sale confirm his wide-ranging taste in medical reading. The books cover texts from physicians ancient and modern (with a leaning towards those active in the first half of the early seventeenth century) of both traditional and reformed persuasions. Three texts by Galen published in the 1530s and ’40s were acquired as a single lot, and a 1554 edition of Hippocrates’s writings completes a trio of works from the Classical medical tradition. These were complemented by the acquisition of several early modern texts in defence of that tradition including two each by Thomas Erastus and Baudouin Ronsse, Lorenz Scholz’s Aphorismorum medicinalium (1626), and Johann Freitag’s Disputatio Medico Philosophica (1632), which was acquired as a single lot with three texts by Leonhart Fuchs.38 From the chemical perspective came two works by Jean Béguin, and Philipp Müller’s alchemical Miracula Chymica (1651), while authors of an atomist perspective represented among Doody’s purchases include Daniel Sennert (whose recipes Doody had recorded in his notebook of medical preparations) and Joannes Chrysostomus.39 The subject of pure chemistry is represented by Girolamo Rossi’s De Destillatione (1585) and Andreas Libavius’s Rerum Chymicarum (1595). Thomas Bartholin’s De Luce Animalium which set out all the bioluminescent phenomena known to the age was Doody’s most expensive purchase at the sale, secured by an outlay of 9s 7d: its presence among his acquisitions suggests an academic curiosity for matters natural philosophical accompanying his evident interest in practical healing. The axis between traditional and chemical medical opinion was not, however, the only territory of Doody’s medical acquisitions at Smith’s sale. Jole Shackleford makes a comment of significance for Doody’s tastes, when he notes a distinction between Paracelsian experimenters and the empiricism favoured by the Danish physician and natural historical collector Ole Worm and his teachers in Basel, ‘notably Felix Platter and Casper Bauhin. The Paracelsians were experimenters and sometimes incorporated reports of laymen, but they were not systematic collectors. Worm’s empiricism was accumulative’.40 Doody’s too. His buying at the Smith sale betrays a fascination

with catalogues that was common to several of his circle (as I will discuss in the final section of this essay). Platter is represented among his purchases by a copy of the Quaestionum Medicarum Paradoxarum (1625), while other catalogues acquired include Johann Schenck’s Biblia Iatrica (1609) and Paschalis Gallus’s Bibliotheca Medica (1590). Several authors whose texts Doody bought (including Fuchs) straddled the fields of medicine and botany. Most prominent was Conrad Gesner, with Doody acquiring three texts of his as a single lot. The German physician Euricius Cordus also bridges the disciplines, and Doody acquired his Botanologicon of 1534.41 Among works of botanical cataloguing, Doody took the opportunity to buy copies of Ray’s Catalogus Plantarum (1660) and Thomas Johnson’s Mercurius Botanicus (1634), describing the plants observed during a tour of the southwest of England. He also bought the practical Isagoges in Rem Herbarium (1606) of the Flemish anatomist and botanist Adriaan van de Spiegel, which contained instructions on making a herbarium. Earlier texts among his haul included Hieronymi Tragi, De Stirpium (1552) by one of the founders of early modern botany, the German Hieronymous Bock, on which Doody spent 4s 6d, making it his second dearest purchase, and Antoine du Pinet’s Historia Plantarum (1651). ii. From the Anglesey auction Doody approached the 1686 sale of the Anglesey library with a substantially increased budget, and made purchases in a wider range of subjects. He bought 158 lots, spending £14 7s 3d. Perhaps his heavier spending, and that of other buyers, is a sign of emboldenment by the prestige of Annesley’s library, though Doody nonetheless confined himself to the acquisition of less expensive texts: his average spend was 1s 10d, as against an average lot price for the auction of 5s 8d. Again works of medicine and natural history dominate his acquisitions. And, again, he was joined among the bidders by the formidable Sloane. Birrell depicts Doody and Sloane, who also made purchases at the auction, as rival bidders, remarking ‘they carved up various lots of botanical books between them’.42 This characterization, however, neglects the involvement of a third party in this competition: the well-heeled Plukenet, genuine rival of Sloane and Petiver, who outbought and outspent Doody, accumulating 178 volumes at a cost of £26 19s 7d (an average spend per lot of just over 3s). Sloane acquired over 280 books at an average spend of 5s 4d, his outlay of more than £75 dwarfing even the combined total of Doody and Plukenet’s acquisitions. Again (and against Birrel’s casting of Doody as a botanical buyer), medical books constitute the largest grouping of his acquisitions at the Anglesey auction. Over a third of his purchases (fifty-four lots) were works on medical topics, whereas only a handful were straightforwardly botanical texts. Of the medical books Doody acquired, anatomy was the stand-out subject of interest. Sixteen anatomical texts figure among his haul at the auction, with a 1617 folio copy of Vesalius (purchased for 5s 6d) among the more eye-catching. More expensive still at 8s 6d was a 1648 folio edition of Hieronymus Fabricius’s principal works including the landmark De Formatu Foetu. Embryology was apparently an area of interest for Doody, and he also acquired two octavo copies of Walter Needham’s 1667 Disquisitio Anatomica de Formato Foetu, paying 1s 7d for one and 2s 6d for the second. The acquisition of three consecutive lots (quarto editions of texts by the Dutch anatomist Reinier de Graaf, who late in life recommended the microscopical work of Antonie van Leeuwenhoek to the Royal Society) also seems to imply an area of focus. Two of the three books were Graaf’s works on the reproductive organs of men and the ovaries and eggs (the cause of a feud between Graaf and his former friend Jan Swammerdam over insinuations of plagiarism).43 Another Dutch anatomist, and a mover in similar circles to Graaf

and Swammerdam, also embroiled in their antagonism, was Gerard Blaes, who is represented by two texts in the collection (one of them bound with a work by Antonius Eygell), while Doody also bought four by Blaes’s friend Thomas Bartholin. Theodore Kerckring represents a final member of this circle of contemporary Dutch anatomists, with Doody acquiring a quarto edition of his Spicilegium Anatomicum for 4d. A forerunner of theirs however and an anatomist after the style of Vesalius was Johan van Heurne, whose Institutiones Medicinae Doody bought in a 1627 duodecimo edition for 6d.44 Two Englishmen appear, both represented by texts of specialist focus: Malachai Thruston’s on respiration and Thomas Wharton’ on the glands. Works by two traditionalist Frenchmen (though eighty years separated the dates of their birth), Jean Fernel and Jean Riolan, an antagonist of Bartholin, complete Doody’s anatomical purchases.45 Beyond anatomy, the subjects of Doody’s medical buying at the Anglesey auction are spread relatively evenly. A 1633 edition of Hippocrates’s aphorisms was accompanied by three works by traditionalists of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries (Girolamo Barbato, Leonardo Giachini and Jean de Gorris). These purchases, however, were offset by handfuls of works by Paracelsians and Helmontians, including Helmont’s own Ortus Medicinae, for which Doody paid 4s (as opposed to 1s for the Hippocrates). Thomas Willis and Marchmont Needham stand out as significant British Helmontians whose works Doody acquired. Elsewhere Doody’s professional interests as an apothecary seem to show. He acquired half a dozen texts on spa waters, and four on pharmacy, including two copies of the Pharmacopœa Londinensis (the 1632 and 1650 editions). Also among his acquisitions on the practical business of medicine preparation was the German Andreas Tentzel’s Medicina Diastatica, the first English-language work on the medicine of mummy, complete with prefatory material by the Paracelsians John Lily and Roger Elis.46 Doody’s acquisitions of botanical books, in fact, were relatively few. He bought just four works wholly dedicated to the subject, but the list does include his most expensive purchase at the auction, a folio edition of the Dutch naturalist Willem Piso’s 1648 landmark text on the flora and fauna of Brazil, acquired for 15s. Of a piece with Piso’s text was Doody’s acquisition of the French botanist Jacques-Philippe Cornut’s Canadensium Plantarum (1635), based on specimens received from field botanists without its author ever having visited Canada. Other botanical purchases were the younger John Evelyn’s translation of the French Jesuit scholar René Rapin’s Latin poem ‘Of Gardens’, in which Rapin sets out to instruct ‘How you may Groves to best perfection bring; / Of Aquaeducts, of Fruit, the cure and use’,47 and, from an earlier era, the Italian Julius Caesar Scaliger’s commentary on the supposedly Aristotelian De Plantis.48 Perhaps unsurprisingly, given the library’s repute in Royal Society circles, the subject that dominates the remaining bulk of Doody’s purchases is natural philosophy (whether written by major Royal Society figures, leading European philosophers, or scholastic writers). Among the texts Doody acquired from the pen of eminent Royal Society figures were Nehemiah Grew’s Anatomy of Plants, John Evelyn’s Sylva, John Wallis’s Commercium Epistolicum, and four works by Walter Charleton. Matthew Hale’s Essay Touching the Gravitation, or Non-gravitation of Fluid Bodies (1673) was acquired alongside Henry More’s response of 1676, as well as More’s better

known work of moral philosophy, Enchiridion Ethicum. Other texts central to the concerns of the Royal Society that Doody bought include Marcello Malpighi’s Epistolæ Anatomicæ (1669) and Nicaise Le Fèvre’s Compleat Body of Chymistry (1670).49 His purchase of Cave Beck’s Universal Character implies an interest in the influential ideas of the language planning movement, while Thomas Browne’s Hydriotaphia also stands out as a work authored by a figure of repute among the early Royal Society, even if Browne was never a member. Major European philosophers too are represented, with Doody acquiring two works by Descartes and one by Leibniz, as well as texts by Cartesian writers including Joannes Amerpoel and Antoine Le Grand.50 Other topics of relevance to the Royal Society’s programme represented in clusters among Doody’s purchases are alchemy (eight books, ranging from a late sixteenth-century Strasbourg edition of Jābir to two works by the Polish philosopher Michael Sendivogius), geology (four books on stones and fossils including Conrad Gesner’s De Omni Rerum Fossilium, 1565), mathematics (half a dozen books), and astronomy (two books). Two geographical texts were acquired at (by Doody’s standards) lavish costs: a 1555 edition of Simon Grynaeus’s Novus Orbis for 6s 10d, and Johannes Pontanus’s 1611 map of Africa and Asia, Tabula Geograph, for 5s 8d. He also paid 2s 7d for a 1676 edition of John Speed’s popular atlas, Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine. In addition to these works of progressive philosophical intent it should be remembered that Doody also acquired a smaller number of texts defending scholastic positions. Averroes, Peter Ramus and the Welsh philosophical writer Griffith Powell were among the authors of such works. A notable difference in Doody’s purchases at the Anglesey auction from his buying at Richard Smith’s sale is that at the later sale he carried off a number of works on religious and political themes, as well as other items of curiosity. Though works of conservative Anglicanism figure prominently, Doody’s religious purchases included works from across the full spectrum of seventeenth-century Christian belief. At the radical end of the scale, he bought Robert Greville (second Baron Brooke)’s Discourse Opening the Nature of that Episcopacie, as well as the Lincoln and Simson texts I have already mentioned. At the Catholic end of the spectrum were works by the Spanish Jesuit Benedict Pereira, Eustache Asseline, Christopher Davenport and Robert Pugh, as well as a manuscript ‘Treatise on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, &c’. Conservative Protestantism is represented by John Bramhall the archbishop of Armagh, the anti-Calvinist John Cosin, and Henry Hammond. Rosicrucianism was represented by Fludd’s defence of the hermetic brotherhood, Tractatus Apologeticus.51 Doody’s political acquisitions covered a similarly broad range of positions. He bought Payne Fisher’s poetic celebration of Cromwell, Veni, Vidi, Vici (1652), as well as defences of monarchical government by Edmund Pierce and Matthew Wren. Additionally among his political purchases was one of Henry Stubbe’s pamphlets, An Essay in Defence of the Good Old Cause (1659), written to promote Henry Vane’s conception of republicanism against attacks by Richard Baxter.52 Other subjects represented among Doody’s haul from the auction included agriculture and husbandry, economics and accounting, and language and rhetoric. The character of Doody’s participation and the differences between the 1682 and 1686 auctions are interesting. At the Smith sale, Doody appears to acquire works of use in the programme of natural taxonomy in which he was engaged: botanical and catalogue works dominate his buying. At the Anglesey sale, his behaviour matches more closely that of a buyer developing a broad-based collection of philosophical and medical works, supplemented by a number of curiosities and texts

of extra-professional interest. These later purchases may perhaps reflect an aspiration to the genteel scholarly status that was the norm among the Royal Society, but Doody did not enjoy the university education and independent wealth of several of the Society’s prominent virtuosi. His background was similar to that of Petiver. Both hailed from the midlands (Doody from Staffordshire; Petiver from Warwickshire), both were the sons of tradesman fathers (Doody’s a maltster; Petiver’s a haberdasher), and both, of course, established themselves in the apothecary trade before developing a wider interest in matters natural philosophical. But Doody enjoyed fortune in an area in which Petiver was unlucky. His father, who achieved success in his Staffordshire trade and gave Samuel money during his life, willed him a property and a further modest sum of £200. Petiver’s relationship with his benefactors was more strained. Although his uncle Richard Elborow had agreed (reluctantly) to will Petiver a legacy of £7000, on Elborow’s death in 1707, Petiver’s half-brother, Elborow Glentworth, who was the will’s executor, saw to it that the legacy was not granted. It is impossible to gauge the two men’s financial success in business, but Doody in the 1680s appears to have participated in the London book market to an extent to which Petiver was either unable or disinclined. Of course, the Anglesey sale was a landmark event and it is not safe to infer typical behaviour from atypical conditions, but still it was an event in which Doody made himself a significant participant.53

IV. Cataloguing nature

Giles Mandelbrote discerns a shift in Sloane’s book collecting behaviour from the 1690s. As a young man, Sloane ‘purchased books to support his own professional and scientific interests’, but in his thirties a change occurred: ‘Sloane’s collecting was no longer directed towards supplying his own needs, but began instead to take on an omnivorous institutional scale, which required assistance from librarians as well as an impressive array of bibliographical reference tools’. Sloane’s library, writes Mandelbrote, became ‘the last encyclopaedic scientific library to be assembled in England by one man’.54 Doody’s buying in 1686 (albeit on a less grandiose scale), also suggests a broadening of focus, though he maintained strength in a few core subjects: medicine, anatomy, mathematics, natural history. And, even if by 1686 his resources bore no comparison to Sloane’s almighty buying power, encyclopedism was certainly a concern of Doody’s, evident in those of his books that survive and the annotations he made in them. Doody’s favouring of medical texts in 1686 however suggests that the field of his trade continued to dominate his book buying, even as matters natural historical (and especially botanical) began to take higher priority in his extra-professional life. His will, made in 1694, still gave his profession as ‘apothecary’. But even so, Doody and Sloane were among an informal group of botanists (many, but by no means all, associated with the Temple Coffee-House Botany Club)55 who were working towards a full taxonomy of the natural world, evidence of which lies both in their collectively acquiring and annotating botanical catalogues and in correspondence between members. Among the group were Ray, Petiver and Plukenet, as well as Tancred Robinson, Jacob Bobart and Edward Lhwyd. The project, an informal extension of the Royal Society’s overarching programme begun by and influenced by John Wilkins’s work on artificial languages,56 entailed

an ongoing exchange of information coordinated both by an epistolary network and personal acquaintanceship, and had recourse to a large number of printed catalogue and encyclopedic texts annotated by many hands. Whether by design or default, labours were divided among participants, several of whom (Doody, Sloane, Petiver, Bobart and Robinson) contributed appendices to Ray’s Synopsis Methodica Stirpium Britannicarum (1690). While Doody worked on the catalogue of mosses now held at Sloane MS. 2315, Lhwyd was assembling a compendium of fossils. Ray and Willughby had worked on fish, and Martin Lister contributed catalogues of plant species to Ray’s work in progress. Sloane and Plukenet, of course, were the assemblers of large herbariums (Plukenet authoring a lavishly produced catalogue in four volumes) and Petiver too became the curator of a private collection of natural specimens. The network of correspondents reached far and wide, with outposts in the Americas and beyond, and plans afoot for further exploratory voyages. Doody was a correspondent of John Banister, the naturalist working as a clergyman in Virginia, who shipped hundreds of natural specimens to his colleagues in England, and sent Doody a catalogue of the state’s plants that was eventually printed in full in Ray’s Historia Plantarum (1688-1704). Petiver published some of Banister’s entomological records and Banister also contributed drawings to Plukenet’s Leonardi Plukenetij Phytographia. A manuscript copy of the the Virginia catalogue in Doody’s and another hand is at Sloane MS. 2202, with several references pegged to Plukenet’s Leonardi Plukenetij Phytographia or Petiver’s Musei Petiveriani, as well as other texts by members of the circle.57 Data from printed texts as well as natural-world observations were plundered to help complete this comprehensive taxonomy, as evidenced by Doody’s catalogues of mosses. His unpublished De Muscis, which survives in two slim quarto notebooks, lists and briefly describes a litany of moss species accompanied by page references to works of natural history already in circulation, especially Ray’s Synopsis.58 The text conforms very closely to Ken Arnold’s account of catalogue literature of the period comprising ‘visual records that cumulatively generated one register after another of specimen upon specimen upon specimen’.59 Doody supplies variety of lichen upon variety of lichen, culled from his reading and field observations, as well as from conversations with his botanically minded acquaintances. Ray’s name overwhelmingly dominates, and Buddle appears with some regularity, with Lhwyd, James Sherard, and Richard Richardson sporadically invoked.60 The annotations in Doody’s surviving printed books, in his and other hands, mark a further contribution to this project. His copy of the first instalment of Petiver’s catalogue is interleaved with pages containing notes similar to those he made for the De Muscis, often cross-referring to Ray’s Synopsis and comparable texts. As a collector he sought out exchanges with like-minded figures, writing to Lhwyd in 1692 that he had some samples of stones and fossils that he proposed to send to the Oxonian collector and that he would be glad to receive any duplicates from Lhwyd’s collection. His textual practices imply a similar instinct for completionism. Where a species is missing, Doody writes it in. Petiver’s catalogue is assiduous about acknowledging the source of his specimens (which in several cases was Doody), and Doody’s annotations suggest an ambition to constellate different catalogues and collectors into a more encompassing dataset. Where a particular species is listed elsewhere, he makes note of the fact, writing, for example, beside Petiver’s entry for the specimen of ‘Stalkless Goldilocks’ provided by Sherard, ‘vide Apped. wall: R: Syn: ed: 2’.61 The note refers to the relevant appendix to the Synopsis contributed by Sherard, just as another annotation shortly after refers to Petiver’s description of a specimen of White shrubby Sea-heath donated by Doody, and to his own contribution to the Synopsis (in spite of the fact that Petiver had already given

57 A copy of a letter from Banister to Doody including some lists of plants from the Virginia catalogue is at Sloane MS. 3321, ff. 3-6. Further plants from Virginia came from Charles Hartgill (see Sloane MS. 3328, f. 88). For Doody’s receipt of plants from the Canary Islands, see Sloane MS. 3328, ff.89-91 and Francisco-Ortega and Santos-Guera, ‘Early Evidence of Plant Hunting’. 58 The draft text is at Sloane MS. 2202. 59 Arnold, Cabinets for the Curious, p. 215. 60 De Muscis notebooks are Sloane MSS. 2315 and 2316. 61 BL, 972.g.2, unfoliated page interleaved between pp. 6-7.

the relevant page number in his printed entry).62 While the project was collaborative, proper attribution was a matter members of the group took seriously (hence perhaps Doody’s eagerness to make reference to his own parts in the work)63. The significance the group attached to accurate crediting of sources is hinted at by Doody’s tentative first approach to Lhwyd in which he presents a request for information with the assurance that ‘I will publishe them in your name’.64 In an appendix to his Brief Instructions for Making Observations in All Parts of the World, Woodward expressed the need for collaboration and exalted the value of small discoveries in the project of natural taxonomy. The sheer number of species to be catalogued meant that ‘‘tis not expected that any one single Person will have leisure to attend to so many things, and therefore ‘tis only requested that he make such Observations and Collections, more or less as may be best suitable to his Convenience, and to his Business’. That being so, Woodward promised that however ‘few Observations made, or things collected, yet even they will be very gratefully received’. On the other hand mankind would be much more highly obliged to ‘such curious and inquisitive Persons who shall generously bestow a yet greater Diligence and Application in the Promotion of these many of them so very useful and considerable Parts of Knowledge’.65 Doody conformed to this model as both a grateful recipient and a diligent promotor of natural knowledge. The annotations to his botanical books suggest a commitment (both his own and that of his colleagues) to the incremental and systematic classification of nature by an ongoing process of compartmentalizing and naming. His surviving books and manuscripts provide evidence of a contribution to that endeavour supported by his correspondence and known contributions to Ray’s Synopsis. But others of his books and his purchasing at auction sales continued to reflect his profession as a working apothecary as well as his standing as a reader ambitious to develop his philosophical learning and a member (or soon-to-be member) of various learned societies. The following book lists offer material on which further bibliographic study of late seventeenth-century medicine, pharmacy and botany, not to mention this often-neglected figure, might be based.

75 This entry is problematic. Bib. Ang. p. 62 lists it under the title given but ‘per Edmund Gunther’ and published in 1620, when there was no edition of Briggs’s text. Gunther did produce a text on logarithms in 1620, but its title was A Canon of Triangles: or A Table of Artificiall Sines, Tangents, and Secants. Bib. Ang. also notes that the text is sold ‘cum Tab. Tangent, &c. MSS’. The copy of Briggs belonging to Doody (BL C.54.e.10.(1); Appendix I:10) does bear manuscript inscriptions, and I am therefore inclined to believe this the text sold at the Anglesey auction. 76 The date of 1500 given by Bib. Ang. is the year of Camerarius’s birth and clearly erroneous. Nuremberg quarto editions of this text appeared in 1590, 1595, 1596 and 1597. 77 Bib. Ang. notes that this text comprises two volumes published in Oxford and Frankfurt, but does not give a publication date for either.

79 From Bib.

It appeared in two editions (a three-book text first published in 1637, and a seven-book text, first published in 1652). Each edition was reprinted frequently. 81 Bib. Ang. gives the date as 1678, presumably a misprint for 1578.
