Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical Memoir of Alexander Agassiz, 1835-1910 Three years later he became interested in coal mining in Pennsylvania, but he still continued active work in zoology. In 1865 he undertook the exploitation of an unprofitable copper mine in Michigan, in which he detected great possibilities. By uniting this mine with an adjoining one and by the application of improved methods of ore treatment, he placed the consoli dated properties upon a productive basis. From this time on, he had no further dread of the narrowness of means which had hitherto hampered him and his father; moreover, he could henceforth liberally aid his father in the furtherance of plans for the symmetrical expansion of the museum, and form for himself generous projects for exploration as well as for mu seum study. In spite of the too serious drafts made by the mining enterprise upon his time and strength, he did not at any time relinquish his interest in its management. He served successively as superintendent, treasurer, and president. In 1869 his health gave way under the protracted strain of the management of the mine in Michigan, and he was forced to suspend all work in connection with that undertaking. With his wife and children he sailed for Europe in the autumn of that year, and his rest soon found him convalescent. With returning strength he journeyed to various points where he could examine collections of his favorite objects of study, and thus he spent his vacation in the most pleasurable scientific activity. The titles of the scientific papers noted at the end of this sketch exhibit the wide range of his investigation and the steadfastness of his purpose. At this period he was devoting himself with singleness of aim to embryology and certain phases of systematic zoology. In this work and in his devotion to the museum, he must have given great satisfaction to his father. Who always regarded him as his earliest student in the museum. His methods of study were largely those of his father, and his avoidance of the polemics of Darwinism at this time was an added gratification. This period is regarded by those best qualified to judge as the happiest and most produc tive of the years which he gave to zoology proper.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters and Recollections of Alexander Agassiz After it became apparent that it would be necessary to cast this book in its present form, I would gladly have handed the material to a more experienced bio grapher. Since no suitable person was available, it has fallen to me to complete the work, for lack of a fitting Boswell. I wish to take this opportunity of most cordially thanking the many individuals who have kindly allowed me to examine my father's letters and have assisted in numerous other ways.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Louis Agassiz: His Life and Work In his biographical memoir, read before the National Academy, Arnold Guyot, the life-long friend of Agassiz, said: "Permit me here to allude to one of the providential circumstances of Agassiz's life, which enabled him to perform so large an amount of work, and to do it cheerfully as well as efficiently. I mean his marriage, in 1849, with a distinguished daughter of his adopted country, whom we all know without naming her, and all admire and respect. In this constant and devoted companion of his American life he found a wise and affectionate mother for his children. Her sound and firm judgment, her well-balanced mind, gave him much needed help and encouragement in the midst of sometimes complicated circumstances. Her literary talents, to which we owe the interesting record of his Brazilian journey, the picturesque account of the Florida reefs, and perhaps the final appearance of more than one of his late works, are acknowledged by all. Her deep and absolute devotion, her soothing influence, secured for him the peace of mind and heart so necessary for an undisturbed mental activity. To her also science owes a tribute of gratitude."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life, Letters, and Works of Louis Agassiz, Vol. 2 Agassiz was in complete ignorance of what had become of Burkhardt Since he left the glacier Of the Aar and Neuchatel in 1843. But Burkhardt, learning through the newspapers that Agassiz was delivering a course of lectures, gladly called on him and told his pathetic history, his attitude and appearance amply proving that life in the streets Of New York under such conditions was a difficult one to endure. Agassiz, always Open-handed and generous, received his old artist with great kindness, and offered him a home, on the single condition that he Should draw his zoological Specimens. The unfortunate artist was only too ready to accept any Offer, or, more correctly, any arrangement, which prom ised a living; and with that lack Of Specific agreement which always characterized Agassiz's connection with his assistants, he resumed his position as draughtsman, and was brought by Agassiz to East Boston, on his return from New York, at the end of November, 1847. This hap-hazard association lasted until the death Of Burkhardt, and is the only one, of all those formed in the same way, during the life Of Agassiz, which remained undisturbed.
