Book Description
Correspondence from Louis David von Schweinitz to John Torrey, dated 1820-1832, discussing a multitude of plants (multi-page lists of species are frequently included with letters), particularly cryptogamia; his frequent bouts of ill health; and the activities of their friends and associates. His tone is nearly always warm, patient and fatherly (upon receiving news of Torrey's marriage: "I hope it is not too late to express my sincere congratulations upon your conversion from celibacy...")-- except when confronted with the antics of Rafinesque. "I wonder whether you have seen that most extraordinary & impertinent publication which Rafinesque has just issued-- on every possible subject under the title of Atlantic Journal, " he writes in 1832. "He is doubtless a man of intense knowledge-- as badly digested as may be & crack brained I am sure." Obsolete and unresolved plant names mentioned include Agnostus, Aira compressa, Aira pumila, Blitum maritimum, Carex subulata, Gerardia, Girardia auriculata, Gymnopodium, Hepatica, and Scirpus planifolius.

Minutes and Correspondence of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia 1812-1924
Author: Venia Phillips
Publisher: DIANE Publishing
ISBN: 9781422317815
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
Ever since its foundation in 1812, the Academy of Natural Sciences of Phila. has preserved manuscript documents even after the information has been published. The secretaries, curators, librarians, editors & other officers of the Academy had all cached such papers somewhere for posterity. These holdings were largely brought together by Edward Nolan for his history to celebrate the 100th anniversary. He had hoped to have his long history published & presented as a memorial at that time. When funds were not available for printing, the ¿Short History¿ listed in the bibliography was used instead. The materials published here in microfilm form have always been locked away in the Academy¿s hall & always remained in the custody of the librarian.
