Life[]
In 1801 he married the only daughter of William Curtis, author of Flora Londinensis, and founder of Curtis's Botanical Magazine, and so succeeded to the magazine's proprietorship; she died in 1827. Not long after that he moved to , near Coggeshall in Essex. The editorship of the magazine’ was resigned by John Sims in 1826, William Hooker succeeding him.[2]
About 1846 Curtis sold his rights in the magazine, when lithography was about to supersede plate-printing. He retired to an estate he had bought, La Chaire, at Rozel in Jersey, where he died on 6 January 1860.[2]
