2000974 pages in two volumes. "The Kamloops and its proceedings are an important step in communicating the results of the recent, original and innovative work to managers, scientists, educators, naturalists, and the general public. There are many sobering signs of how desperate the situation has become: far more extensive and complicated endangered species lists; a growing number of ecosystems at risk; an increasing understanding of how fragile some ecosystems are; and accelerated rates of habitat loss and fragmentation. On the bright side, there is the tremendous energy that has in recent years been put forward toward public education, and documenting classifying, researching, and conserving species at risk. These papers are a valuable glimpse into that effort." - from Preface. Clean, tight and unmarked with light external wear. Nice copy. Book

ref. 018964[Positivisme] Richard Congreve (1818-1899), philosophe anglais, figure de proue du positivisme en Angleterre, à l'origine du schisme en 1878. L.A.S. en français, 19 César 90 [11 mai 1878], 2p in-8. Au docteur Jean-François Robinet (1825-1899), médecin d'Auguste Comte et important positiviste français. « Cher Monsieur Robinet, Distinguons. Pour les sacrements, je me sers d'autres formes. Je fais précéder l'administration du rite par une explication. Et après cela, j'en viens à la partie sacramentelle proprement dite, aux engagements, c'est-à-dire puis par les intéressés et à une consécration formelle. Dernièrement, j'ai ajouté une prière de [mot illisible]. Mais il ne s'agit pas de sacrements actuellement mais d'un expression très simple de notre attitude religieuse et qui puisse servir à mener les coeurs avant le discours. Si vous vous rappelez que notre livre de prédilection doit être l'imitation, vous verrez, je crois, à quel point nous nous rattachons au catholicisme. Que nous ayons à réparer ses ravages - ou plutôt les ravages de sa doctrine. Rien de plus certain. Mais son culte - son organisation - nous avons à les éluder et y penser largement et sans hésitation. Je crois que l'habitude sérieuse de lire et méditer du livre d'A Kempis nous mettrait tous sur le bonne voie. Et rappelez-vous la synthèse dans la Bibliothèque. Les grands docteurs catholiques, anciens et modernes, se distinguent par leur nombre. Ma formule reste toujours : le Catholiscisme Humain ou le Catholiscisme plus les Sciences. Et voilà des années que je prêche cela et vous vous en étonnez - voyez donc à quel degré, faute de [mot illisible] notre mouvement, vous en êtes éloigné. Salut et fraternité. Richard Congreve ».

L.A.S. en français, Londres, 28 Archimède 90 [22 avril 1878], 2p in-8. Au docteur Jean-François Robinet (1825-1899), médecin d'Auguste Comte et important positiviste français. « Cher Monsieur Robinet, Enfin je vous renvoie la circulaire - plus la traduction de Mrs [nom illisible]. Plus un petit mot de la traductrice. Je vous remercie aussi de la courte note que vous aviez jointe à cette traduction. Pour moi, il est constant, que si on avait fait appel chez vous depuis longtemps aux émotions, on serait actuellement beaucoup plus avancé. Vos observations ont été très bienveillantes. Eussent-elles été défavorables, j'aurais été toujours prêt à les accueillir. Il faut, autant que possible, voir tous les côtés de votre situation. M. Gouge s'est présenté samedi et revient déjeuner avec nous aujourd'hui. C'est une nouvelle connaissance positiviste et, selon toute apparence, un très digne homme. M. Merlieux, 94 Quai des Eaux Vives à Genève est exposé à mourir de faim. Voilà la simple vérité. Je lui cherche tout le secours possible. J'ai pensé que peut-être il aura des amis en France. Richard Congreve. J'écris à la hâte comme vous le voyez. Cette affaire Merlieux me préoccupe beaucoup ». Auguste Gouge (1849-1937) est un ingénieur, fabricant de bronzes.
