Jonathan Couch (1789-1870), surgeon apothecary of Polperro, was one of the pioneering natural historians of his day, paving the way for others such as Darwin and Huxley to follow. This account of his life and work tells the story of a man who, born in humble circumstances, rose to become one of the leading natural scientists of the 19th century.
