Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Academy of Science and Letters of Sioux City, Iowa, Vol. 2: For 1905-6 Two years ago it was determined by the Sioux City Academy of Science and Letters to publish its first volume of proceedings with some of the papers which had been read at its meetings. But at once the question of finances became the important one. With a comparatively small membership and low dues our regular income did not much exceed our necessary current expenses. But as it was known that the Academy desired to publish its first book, financial help was offered us both by our members and friends, and the first volume was given to the public. Its reception by our local friends, and other scientific societies with whom we have exchanged, was very cordial, and we received many compliments from the press in all parts of the country. One of the comments most valued by the members of the Academy was that our work was so largely local. We have studied and written upon the subjects that were nearest to us; those that we were best acquainted with. In this, our second volume, we have endeavored to follow the same course, believing that every such society can do its best and most useful work on subjects in its own locality. When the first volume was published, the members of the Academy hoped to be able to follow it up with succeeding numbers at intervals of two years. As with the first volume, the question of finances was the most important and hardest to be overcome, so it was with this, the second. But here again our way has been made smooth for us. A kind friend said to us: "Go ahead with the book and I will see to it that the money will be ready when it is needed." This kind friend is Mrs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
