Description: Public & Private Science The King George III Collection Did you know that the planet Uranus was originally named "Georgium sidus," the Georgian Star, after King George III of England, who had funded the 40-foot telescope William Herschel used to discover it. King George III was more than JUST Mad King George. He was the first British monarch to receive lessons in areas such as physics, chemistry and mathematics. His genuine interest in science and recognition of the importance of experiment and demonstration are clearly reflected in the instruments he collected and commissioned. Those instruments can be seen in this beautiful collection. - Written by Alan Q. Morton and Jane A.
