  • "A BIOGRAPHY OF THE MAN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CREATION OF THE UNITED STATES' PRINCIPAL CULTURAL INSTITUTION, THE SMITHSONIAN."
  • "In 1829, a wealthy English naturalist named James Smithson left his library, mineral collection, and entire fortune to the United States of America, even though he had never visited the United States or known any Americans. Burleigh pieces together the reclusive benefactor's life, beginning with his origins in the splendidly dissipated eighteenth-century aristocracy as the Paris-born bastard son of the first Duke of Northumberland and a wild adventuress who preserved for her son a fortune through gall and determination."
