' Nothing so fully displays the grandeur of his mind as his immense & rare collections perhaps the fullest & most curious in the world' National Gazette 1753 Hans Sloane (1660-1753) was the greatest collector of his time & one of the greatest of all time His name is familiar today through the London streets & squares named after him on land he once owned (Sloane Square Hans Place) but the man himself & his achievements are almost forgotten Born in the north of Ireland Sloane made his fortune as a physician to London's wealthiest residents & through investment in land & slavery He became one of the eighteenth century's preeminent natural historians ultimately succeeding his rival Isaac Newton as President of the Royal Society & assembled an astonishing collection of specimens artefacts & oddities

- as he had hoped
- by the nation It became the nucleus of the world's first national public museum the British Museum which opened in 1759 This is the first biography of Sloane in over sixty years & the first based on his surviving collections Early modern science & collecting are shown to be global endeavours intertwined with imperial enterprise & slavery but which nonetheless gave rise to one of the great public institutions of the Enlightenment as the cabinet of curiosities gave way to the encyclopaedic museum Collecting the World describes this pivotal moment in the emergence of modern knowledge & brings this totemic figure back to life
