Johann Conrad Ammann (December 24, 1724, Schaffhausen – October 11, 1811, Schaffhausen) was a Swiss physician, naturalist, and collector.
After graduating at Leiden in 1749 he began to practise at Schaffhausen. He was particularly noted for his collection of fossils.
He is often confused with Johann Konrad Ammann, born 1669 in Schaffhausen and died 1724 in Warmoud near Leiden.
Famous quotes containing the word conrad:
“You can’t, in sound morals, condemn a man for taking care of his own integrity. It is his clear duty. And least of all can you condemn an artist pursuing, however humbly and imperfectly, a creative aim. In that interior world where his thought and his emotions go seeking for the experience of imagined adventures, there are no policemen, no law, no pressure of circumstance or dread of opinion to keep him within bounds. Who then is going to say Nay to his temptations if not his conscience?”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
