from
Wikipedia
From 1836 until 1841 Nuttall worked at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia.
During this time he made contributions to the Flora of North America being prepared by Asa Gray and John Torrey.
The death of his uncle then required Nuttall to return to England.
By terms of his uncle's will, to inherit the property, Nuttall had to remain in England for nine months of each year.
His North American Sylva: Trees not described by F. A. Michaux, which was the first book to include all the trees of North America, was finished just before he left the US in December, 1841.
He died in St Helens, Lancashire and is buried in Christ Church in the nearby village of Eccleston.
