A History Of The New York Academy Of Sciences: Formerly The Lyceum Of Natural History is a comprehensive account of the evolution of the New York Academy of Sciences, which was originally known as the Lyceum of Natural History. Written by Herman Le Roy Fairchild, this book traces the organization's origins back to the early 19th century and charts its growth through the decades. The book covers the Academy's role in scientific research, education, and public outreach, as well as its contributions to the advancement of various fields of study, including biology, geology, astronomy, and psychology. The author also explores the Academy's relationship with other scientific institutions and its impact on the broader scientific community. Through a combination of historical research and personal anecdotes, Fairchild paints a vivid picture of the Academy's rich history and enduring legacy. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of science in America and the role of scientific institutions in shaping our understanding of the natural world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
