Abstract
SHORTLY after the death of Dana in 1895, a very admirable sketch of the scientific career of his father, from the pen of Prof. E. Salisbury Dana, appeared in the pages of the American Journal of Science; but the numerous friends and admirers of the distinguished man—who for many years was justly regarded as the foremost representative of science in the United States—will welcome the fuller memoir now given to the world by his old pupil and friend, President Gilman. The Life of fames Dwight Dana, Scientific Explorer, Mineralogist, Geologist, Zoologist, Professor in Yale University. By Daniel C. Gilman, President of the John Hopkins University. With illustrations. Pp. 409. (New York and London: Harper and Brothers, 1899.)
