Humphry Davy to James Edward Smith

Royal Institution would like Smith to give a course of twelve lectures on the "Philosophy of Natural History" for 60 guineas

Humphry Davy, [London], to James Edward Smith, Norwich, [Norfolk]

The managers of the Royal Institution ask whether Smith would deliver a third course of lectures on botany in 1806. The last course gave "universal pleasure and satisfaction". [Smith has briefly annotated his reply] Accepts the offer but would like to make the course longer

Humphry Davy, London, to James Edward Smith, Norwich, [Norfolk]

Pleased that Smith is to lecture at the Royal Institution: he is limited to ten lectures but everything else is Smith's decision. Past examples of payment options, with Mr Grave, "public curator of Oxford", who gave two courses of ten lectures on civil architecture received £50 for each, Mr Dalton of Manchester received nearly the same for the same amount of lectures on Natural Philosphy, whilst three London lecturers who have chosen courses of six lectures on history, belle-lettres, and painting will receive life subscriptions for themselves and their wives, valued at £40
