Notes

Description
Spanning much of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the novel follows the fortunes of the extraordinary Whittaker family as led by the enterprising Henry Whittaker, a poor-born Englishman who makes a great fortune in the South American quinine trade, eventually becoming the richest man in Philadelphia. Born in 1800, Henry's brilliant daughter, Alma (who inherits both her father's money and his mind) becomes a botanist of considerable gifts herself. She falls in love with a painter named Ambrose Pike. Alma is a clear-minded scientist; Ambrose a utopian artist, but they are united in a need to understand the workings of the world and the mechanisms behind all life.
