THE GORDON COLLECTION - THE VICAR, THE BREWER AND THE MINERAL DEALER

摘要

The mineral collections of the University of Aberdeen comprise over 12,000 specimens, and amongst this total is a sub-collection presented by the Reverend John Schank More-Gordon in memory of his grand-father, a former student at the University. The collection is of considerable historical interest, incorporating material of remarkable quality. The pedigree of the collection includes specimens traceable to both Henry Heuland (1778-1856) and Isaac Walker (1790-1853), as well as many of the well-known dealers of the day.
