Book Description
Excerpt from The Botanists of Philadelphia and Their Work This book is the outcome of much correspondence and research. It is a contribution to the history of botany in America. Until such a history is written, the facts con cerning our botanists must be recorded in some permanent form. This, the present work, endeavors to do for the region comprised within a radius of sixty miles of the Citv of Philadelphia. If a circle Of such a radius be drawn on a map, it will include the cities of Lancaster and Easton. Two considerations influenced the author in adopting this limit. (1) It is the one used by the Philadelphia Botanical Club in its herborization trips; (2) the country within that circle centralizes in Philadelphia. Every available source of information has been searched in the endeavor to obtain reliable data. The author feels the shortcomings of the book, and he hopes that the botanical public will overlook the errors consider ing the fragmentary character of the information available in its preparation. It does not claim to be a complete list of the botanists who lived near Philadelphia; many names which ought to have been included are probably omitted for lack of information concerning them. The author believes that the omissions are few, and that the book gives the names of the greater number of Philadelphia botanists.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Botanical Works of the Late George Engelmann: Collected for Henry Shaw, Esq. This complete collection of the Botanical Publications of the late Dr. Engelmann has been made at the suggestion and by means of the generosity of his fellow-townsman Mr. Henry shaw, who thus rears a memorial of his old friend and associate not less appropriate than those in bronze and marble, commemorating distinguished men, with which he has adorned the beautiful park which he gives to the city of St. Louis. He thus greatly obliges and benefits the botanists of our own and future times for these publications were very widely scattered, and many of them were practically inaccessible to those who most needed to use them, and in their dispersed condition all were difficult to consult.

Book Description
Excerpt from Linnaeus as a Physician Thenceforward his life was a continuous course of prosperity. He was greatly honored. Botany occupied his special attention in spring and summer; in the autumn and winter months he gave the more purely medical lectures. He gathered about him a larger circle of students and listeners than any one either before or after him has done; the number of students in the university rose from five hundred to fifteen hundred, and he shifted the scientific center of gravity to a small town in Sweden. Students flocked to hear him from Finland, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Russia, England, and even from America. Adam Kuhn of Philadelphia spent the voars 1763-1765 in Upsala as student under Linnaeus, who regarded him with special favor. Kuhn, in 1768, became the professor of materia medica and botany in the College of Philadelphia. Where he gave lectures on materia medica for twenty one years When the College of Philadelphia, in 1791, united with the University of the State of Pennsyl vania to form the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Kuhn became professor of theory and practice of medi cine, continuing as such for six years.
