Irishman Founded British Museum

Irishman Founded British Museum.
The British museum had it's origin
in an Irishman's bequest. The person
referred to was Sir Hans Sloane, a
celebrated physician and naturalist,
who was born in County Down, Ireland,
April 16, 1860. After receiving thor
ough literary and medical education he
became physician-general to the Brit
ish army, physician to the king, and
succeeded Sir Isaac Newton as presi-
dent Of the Royal society. He spent
several years in the West Indies, was
much interested in the development of
the American colonies and was an &C.
tive promoter in the settlement of
Georgia. In 1749 he made will be

death, in 1853, an act of parliament
was passed accepting the gift and pro
viding quarters for it. This was the
beginning of the great museum.
