Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The American Museum of Natural History: Its Origin, Its History, the Growth of Its Departments, to December 81, 1909 This outline of the History of the Museum has been prepared for the benefit of the Trustees, Members and Scientific Stall, The present edition is abbreviated from a full report presented to the Trustees February 14, 1910, and constituting the Trustees´ Edition. The first manuscript History of the Museum was that written at the request of the late President Morris K. Josup by Mr. L. P. Grotacap. It is still unpublished, but has yielded very valuable information. The materials for the present History have been assembled chiefly by Assistant Secretary George H. Sherwood and the Curators of the various Departments, from the Minutes of the Meetings of Trustees and Executive Committee, the Annual Reports of the Presidents, and from the records of the several Departments. The text of tire historical sections has been prepared largely under the direction of Mr. Sherwood by Miss Elsé Grant Symonds. The editing and proof-reading of the manuscript have been done chiefly by Curator Edmund Otis Hovey. One of the chief objects of the History is to record our grateful acknowledgments to the many scientific men and to the many patrons of science as well as to the three past Presidents and their supporting Trustees, who have guided the affairs of this great institution. Doubtless there still remain many omissions despite the best efforts at accuracy. The names and special service of some of our many friends may have been unintentionally passed by or unrecorded. It is hoped to remedy such omissions and are discovered in a third and fuller edition of this History. Suggestions and corrections should therefore be addressed to the Assistant Secretary at the Museum. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
