"Historians have erroneously claimed that Barton then studied at the University of Göttingen, but this has yet to be verified" This is not true.

Barton's educational history is now well-established. See: Whitfield J. Bell, Jr., “Benjamin Smith Barton, MD (Kiel),” Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences, vol. 26, p. 197-203. and Joseph Ewan and Nesta Dunn Ewan, Benjamin Smith Barton: Naturalist and Physician in Jeffersonian America. Monographs in Systematic Botany from the Missouri Botanical Garden, vol. 100, Missouri Botanical Garden, St. Louis, 2007.

Barton never attended Gottingen or any continental college or university. He was educated at the College in Philadelphia and at Edinburgh Univ. and returned to Philadlephia without a medical degree from Edinburgh.

A few years after his return to Philadelphia he purchased a medical degree from the Univ. of Kiel. This is all well documented by University records and letters from Barton and others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.160.218.42 (talk) 23:39, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
