Those interested in learning more about Dr. Thornton will find tales of financial ruin as he invested heavily in his botanical pursuits. His reasoning and passion are best illustrated in the following passage from Elements of Botany :

Botany indeed should particularly enter into the education of Princes; then they would see, that each country has its peculiar productions, and the obligations nations stand in to different climes, connected together by reciprocal wants, and knit to each other by the blessings of commerce; then they would learn to respect other countries, and make a garden, not a wilderness, of this world; a delightful pursuit would engage their attention; wars would cease from the earth, and peace with happiness reign perpetual.
Robert John Thornton, M. D.
