Biographical and Historical Notes
James Curtis Booth was born in Philadelphia on July 28, 1810. He was the son of George Booth, formerly of New Castle, Delaware, and Ann Bolton Booth, originally from Chestertown, Maryland. James Booth attended public schools in Philadelphia and graduated from Hartsville Seminary in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. In 1825, he enrolled at the University of Pennsylvania to study chemistry and mineralogy. Following his graduation in 1829, Booth entered Rensselaer Institute in Troy, New York.
Booth taught chemistry during the winter of 1831-1832, in Flushing, New York, and in December, 1832, traveled to Kassel, Germany, to study analytical chemistry under Professor Friedrich Wöhler. In 1834, he traveled to Berlin to study under Gustav Magnus, and the following year spent time in Vienna, and in England where he visited numerous chemical industries. Booth returned to Philadelphia around 1836.
Upon his return to the Unites States, Booth set up a commercial chemistry laboratory in Ambler, Pennsylvania. Booth offered chemical analyses and also provided practical training to chemistry students. In 1836, Booth accepted a teaching position at the Franklin Institute and obtained a position as assistant to Henry D. Rogers, a well-known early geologist, who established the first official geological survey of Pennsylvania. Booth participated in that initial survey.

Rogers, a well-known early geologist, who established the first official geological survey of Pennsylvania. Booth participated in that initial survey.
In 1837, the state of Delaware passed legislation to initiate a geological survey and on June 1, 1837, James C. Booth was appointed Delaware state geologist. Booth completed his survey by 1841 and published his Memoir on the Geological Survey of Delaware that same year. Upon completion of his survey, Booth returned to his career as a chemist and teacher. Booth held teaching positions at the Franklin Institute (1836-1845), the Philadelphia Central High School (1842-1845), and was Professor of Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania (1851-1855). In 1849, Booth was named Melter and Refiner at the U. S. Mint in Philadelphia, a position he retained until the end of his life.
James C. Booth was a prominent member of a number of professional organizations, including the American Philosophical Society, the Academy of Natural Sciences, and the American Chemical Society. Booth served as president of the American Chemical Society from 1883-1884. Booth was the author of numerous papers and reports particularly in the field of chemistry. His published books include the above-mentioned Memoir of the Geological Survey of the State of Delaware (1841), and with Cambell Morfit, Martin H. Boyé, and R. S. McCulloh, he wrote an Encyclopedia of Chemistry, Practical and Theoretical (1850). Booth also edited a translation of Victor Regnault's Elements of Chemistry (1852).
In 1853, James Booth married Margaret M. Cardoza. Margaret Booth was commonly known as "Rettie," and she and Booth were the parents of three daughters: Laurette, Margaret, and Ann. James C. Booth died in Haverford, Pennsylvania, on March 21, 1888.
