However, the value of this essay was not fully recognized during Parkinson\u2019s lifetime, which spanned the American Revolution, the French Revolution, and the Napoleonic Wars. James Parkinson was one of the most singular figures of his time and place. He was successively or concomitantly a virulent political activist, a popular medical writer, a scholarly medical contributor, a highly appreciated parish doctor, a prominent amateur chemist, a devoted madhouse doctor, and a renowned paleontologist. It is that branch of geology that brought Parkinson fame during his lifetime. He was an insatiable collector of fossils, minerals, and shells that came to form the core of the museum that he set out at his home in Shoreditch, England. These specimens are beautifully illustrated in his<jats:italic>Organic Remains of a Former World<\/jats:italic>(1804-1811), a three-volume treatise that rapidly became a standard paleontology textbook. Parkinson was a founding member of the Geological Society of London, and in recognition of his contribution to the nascent field of paleontology his name was given to many fossils, particularly ammonites (e.g.<jats:italic>Nautilus parkinsoni<\/jats:italic>). Hence, we owe much to Mr. Parkinson, the Paleontologist, as he used to be referred to after his death, for such a vast and multifaceted contribution to natural science and medicine.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/cjn.2017.270","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,20]],"date-time":"2017-11-20T05:11:48Z","timestamp":1511154708000},"page":"83-89","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["A Tribute to James Parkinson"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"Andr\u00e9","family":"Parent","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0317167117002700_ref12","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.5962\/bhl.title.44966","volume-title":"Pictorial atlas of fossil remains, consisting of coloured illustrations selected from Parkinson\u2019s \u201cOrganic remains of a former world\u201d and Artis\u2019s \u201cAntediluvian phytology\u201d","author":"Mantell","year":"1850"},{"key":"S0317167117002700_ref10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Cuvier G .
