- Biographical or historical data
- Benjamin Smith Barton was born February 10, 1766, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. At 14, Barton became a medical student at the College of Philadelphia and later went to Europe in 1786 to futher his studies at the University of Edinburgh. Barton returned to Philadelphia without a medical degree in 1789 and set up private practice. In 1796 he received an honorary M.D. from the Christian-Albrechts University in Kiel, Germany. In 1789 Barton was appointed professor of natural history and botany at the College of Philadelphia. When the College joined with the University of the State of Pennsylvania in 1791, to form the University of Pennsylvania, Barton continued in this position. In 1813 he became professor of materia medica and professor of the theory and practice of medicine. Barton wrote extensively on the topics of natural history, botany, paleontology, etymology and medicine. He penned the first basic American textbook on botany, Elements of Botany, in 1803. In 1805 he founded and edited the Philadelphia Medical and Physical Journal. As a professional advocate, Barton was extremely active in the American Philosophical Society, the Philadelphia Linnean Society, and the Philadelphia Medical Society, serving as its president (1815). Barton was elected a Fellow of the College of Physicians in 1790. On December 19, 1815, Barton died.
