Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of the Collections Contained in the Natural History Departments of the British Museum, Vol. 1: Libraries; The Department of Botany; The Department of Geology; The Department of Minerals The present history of the collections preserved in the four Natural History Departments of the British Museum has been produced at my suggestion, by the officers in charge of the collections. Mr. B. B. Woodward has written the history of the libraries; Mr. George Murray, assisted by Mr. Britten, that of the Department of Botany; Dr. Arthur Smith Woodward with valuable help from the late keeper, Dr. Henry Woodward, and from Dr. Bather, assistant keeper, that of the Department of Geology; and Mr. Fletcher that of the Department of Minerals. A second volume will contain the history of the collections in the Department of Zoology to which Mr. Edgar Smith, Dr. Bowdler Sharpe, Mr. C. O. Waterhouse, Mr. Boulenger, Mr. Oldfield Thomas, Mr. Jeffrey Bell, Mr. Pocock, Mr. Kirkpatrick, Sir George Hampson, and Mr. Lydekker, have each contributed a special section. The possibility of producing such a history as the present is a remarkable evidence of the care and efficiency with which the records of the Museum have been kept during the past century. The value of the book to workers in the various branches of Natural History will be very great. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
