"Dear Sir Being anxious that the Virginia Barret Gibbs Scholarship should begin this year & being anxious that said scholarship should be $250 Two hundred & fifty dollars I am therefore prepared to make up the difference between that sum & the interest in the five thousand dollars for this year. Again thanking you for the trouble you have taken in this matter. I remain sincerely yours Th." ALONG WITH 2 from E. L. Mark Zoological Laboratory Cambridge Mass to Mrs. T.K. Gibbs Newport R.I. March 13 1911. "My Dear Mrs. Gibbs: I thought it might interest you to see brought together the zoological papers that have been written by holders of the Virginia Barret Gibbs Scholarship since 1894. I trust you will accept the two volumes which I am sending with this as a slight token of appreciation of the aid which this scholarship has already afforded to students in Zoology. When I think of the years to come and the many more men who will be helped while devoting themselves to biological problems I am sure the grounds are ample for offering you as I do my hearty congratulations. Quite by chance I learned through Miss Clark that your birthday is near at hand so I am taking the liberty of making that day the date of this little remembrance. With high esteem and good wishes I am as ever Sincerely E.L. Mark." THEODORE K. GIBBS 1840-1909 was born in Newport Rhode Island in 1840 and was the youngest son of Rhode Island Governor William Channing Gibbs. Gibbs enlisted in the United States Army in October 1861 as the second lieutenant of the 1st Regiment of the United States Artillery and served throughout the American Civil War 1861-1865. Gibbs and his wife Virginia Barrett d. 1926 maintained homes in both New York City and Newport. THE VIRGINIA BARRET GIBBS SCHOLARSHIP FUND was established in connection with the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard College to support one or more students who may have shown decided talents in Zoology and preferably in the direction of Marine Zoology. His studies and researches may be conducted at the Natural History Laboratories of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard College at the Newport Marine Laboratory or at such European laboratories or other place on the sea-shore in this country or elsewhere as may be approved by the Faculty of the Museum of Comparative Zoology and by the Professors of Zoology and of Comparative Anatomy of Harvard University. –President's Report of Harvard College 1888-89 pub. 1890. ALEXANDER AGASSIZ 1835–1910 son of Louis Agassiz was an American scientist and engineer born in Neuchâtel Switzerland and immigrated to the United States with his father in 1849. Graduating from Harvard University with the degree of A.B. he entered the Lawrence Scientific School and two years later received from there the degree of Bachelor of Science. In 1859 he went to the Pacific coast where for a time he was engaged upon the North-West Boundary Survey. Upon his return in 1860 he became assistant in Zoology at the Museum of which he took charge during his father's absence in Brazil. From 1866 to 1869 he was superintendent of the Calumet and Hecla Copper Company which he developed from a state of insolvency into the most noted copper mine in the world. During the years 1869 and 1870 he carefully inspected the museums of England France Germany and Scandinavia after which he returned to his duties in Cambridge and succeeded his father as curator of the museum of comparative zoology which position he held until 1898 when he resigned to devote himself to his own expeditions. Agassiz served as a president of the National Academy of Sciences which since 1913 has awarded the Alexander Agassiz Medal in his memory. EDWARD LAURENS MARK 1847-1946 received his A.B. in 1871 from the University of Michigan. In 1873 he was the first American to obtain a doctorate in the laboratory of Rudolf Leuckart; receiving his Ph.D. in Zoology from the University of Leipzig in 1876. Bringing the cytological and histological approach with him to Harvard University in 1877 he was responsible for the introduction of advanced European microscopic techniques. After rising to Professor of Anatomy in 1885 he served as Director Bermuda Biological Station for Research from 1902 to 1931. Founded by Louis Agassiz the University's Museum of Comparative Zoology became the main center of zoological training in 19th century America. His students included Alexander Agassiz and Theodore Roosevelt. A prolific author Mark was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1903. THE MONOGRAPHS: VOLUME I: C. A. KOFOID.

1676réf. 020566Paris: Claude Barbin and Simon Benard 1676 & 1677. First Edition. Hardcover. Library stamp on title and first page of dedication no other markings; binding a bit worn spine chipped with partial loss of spine label. Good example of a scarce book. Small octavo 3-3/4" x 6-1/4" in calf; xxxviii 341 17; xvi 71pages. In the 1670s there was a heated debate among Paris intellectuals concerning whether inscriptions for a proposed triumphal arch in honor of Louis XIV should be in Latin or French. In the first work the author one of the first members of the Academy of Inscriptions argues in favor of the use of French for the inscription. Lucas in his work argues for Latin to be used. In the end the arguments were for naught. While there are four triumphal arches still standing in Paris this particular arch was never constructed. Claude Barbin and Simon Benard hardcover books

1860réf. 50276London 1860. London 30 June 1860. Bifolium. 4pp. 180 x 111 mm. A few pin-holes but fine otherwise. From English physiologist and naturalist William B. Carpenter who "helped shape the modern life sciences in Britain Oxford DNB through both his writings and his work as a teacher and administrator at what is now the University of London. Carpenter performed valuable researches in marine zoology and was directly influential in persuading the British Admiralty to sponsor the Challenger expedition the first major scientific study of the deep oceans. Carpenter is also recognized as one of the founders of the modern theory of the adaptive unconscious-he observed that the human perceptual system and the mechanism of human thought operates almost completely outside of conscious awareness. Carpenter's correspondent was the police magistrate and author John Paget. "I cannot let Mrs. Carpenter be the only one to express our hearty appreciation of the kind feeling on the part of Mrs. Paget and yourself by which the beautiful gift which we had the pleasure of receiving from you yesterday has been prompted as well as our admiration of the combined elegance and utility of the gift itself. Since its arrival Mrs. Carpenter has for the first time informed me that she had been taken into your counsels in the matter; and I am very glad that without any intention of her own your gift should have taken a form that so appropriately made her a participator in it. For her interest in Guy and her constant solicitude for his welfare have been as I need scarcely tell you in no degree inferior to my own. It gives us both great pleasure to have so substantial an expression of the satisfaction felt by Mrs. Paget and yourself in what we have endeavoured to do for him; and we trust with her that the influences and associations of early years may be pleasantly and usefully kept up on both sides by the continued friendship of our boys as they advance in life. With kindest wishes for the welfare and happiness of Mrs. Paget yourself and your family believe me Dear Mr. Paget always yours most sincerely William B. Carpenter." . unknown books

Carpenter's correspondent was the wife of police magistrate and author John Paget. On the death of his mother-in-law: I feel sure that you will be sadly interested in learning that we received two days ago the unexpected intelligence of the death of Mrs. Powell which took place quite suddely on the night of the 30th. She had been failing for some time and seemed to suffer much from disappointment in regard to the affair of the pension having a great wish to be independent of the assistance of her friends and strongly desiring that her father's service to the nation should be acknowledged . . . There was not the least indication of suffering quite the contrary . . . So that I quite believe that she must have passed from the unconsciousness of sleep into that of death. For her and for all those who were interested for her I am satisfied that this will be felt the most desirable termination . . . . unknown books
