Extract

John Henry Heuland, Fellow of the Geological Society, mineral collector and dealer of 25 King Street, St. James's, London, was born in 1778. He moved in 1839 to 31 Red Lion Square, London, where he remained until after 1850. Few details of his life are known, but his sale catalogues and his intense activity as a collector and dealer during the period when it was fashionable to form collections of minerals have secured him an important place in the historical archives of mineralogy.

In what year Heuland began to deal in minerals is uncertain, but it was before 1804 when we have a record of his buying in Lisbon. He subsequently travelled through France, Germany, Sweden, and Russia, collecting and buying minerals wherever possible. About the year 1806 he came into the possession of a fine collection of nfinerals which had been formed on the Continent between the years 1766 and 1806 by his uncle Mr. Jacob Forster.
