Historia biográfica

Better known as Frank Buckland, he was an English surgeon, zoologist, author and natural historian. He was born in a noted family of naturalists. Frank was the first son of Canon William Buckland, a geologist and palaeontologist, and Mary Morland, a fossil collector.

He studied surgery under Caesar Hawkins at St George's Hospital. During this time he became acquainted with Abraham Dee Bartlett, Superintendent of London Zoo, who would send him dead animals at the zoo and he continued to keep many animals. Buckland was made a MRCS in 1851. He was appointed House Surgeon at St George's in 1852. He left St George's in 1853 and in August 1854 he joined the 2nd Life Guards as an assistant surgeon. This appointment left him time for his growing interest in natural history. Buckland gradually gave up medicine and surgery to devote himself to natural history and he was a pioneer of zoöphagy. He was one of the key members and founded of the acclimatisation society in Britain, an organisation that supported the introduction of new plants and animals as food sources which was influenced by his interest in eating and tasting a range of exotic animal meats.

Your Royal Highness

The Artist who is drawing the Red Deer has been ill and tells me he can not let me have the blocks for this week's 'Land & Water' he has promised me faithfully for next week. [Rulich?] reports he has made a capital job of the foot in situ on the tree branch. I have written about the Duke of Edinburgh's Pike in L & W tomorrow and hope you will approve
I beg to enclose a copy of a paper I am sending round to the chief Fishing ports on the North and East of England and Scotland, there are about 2800 fishing Smacks in the North Sea.
This is quite a new idea and I hear the Fishermen accept the proposition very kindly and now I beg to place a proposition before your Royal Highness
