Book excerpt: Excerpt from Objects and Claims of the Boston Society of Natural History: Prepared by Direction of the Society, at the Request of the Committee of Associated Institutions of Science and Art, Jan. 1, 1861 Such I conceive to be some of the results of the establishment of this Society; and they are the legitimate and honorable results of industry and zeal well directed. They constitute as good a case, I believe, as can be made by any institution among us. The first meetings of the Society were held, and the early collections deposited, in one of the rooms of the old Athenae um Building, in Pearl Street; until, in the summer of 1833, the Society procured the rooms in the third story of the build ing of the Provident Institution for Savings, in Tremont Street. In 1845, an effort was made to obtain by subscription sufficient funds for the purchase of the building in Mason Street, for merly occupied by the Medical Department of Harvard Col lege. The effort was only partially successful at the time; but in 1847 it was renewed, and, through the liberality of the patrons of the Society, succeeded. About thirty thousand dollars were raised; and the Society, in the latter part of 1847, removed to its new building, where it met for the first time, Jan. 5, 1848, and where it now remains. In 1832, Simon E. Greene, Esq., one of the founders, bequeathed to the Society five hundred dollars, with his shells and minerals; the late Ambrose Courtis made several conditional bequests to the Society, which, by compromise, resulted in ten thousand dollars; another bequest, of three thousand dollars, was made by Hon. T. H. Perkins; John Parker bequeathed two thou sand dollars; and a recent legacy of ten thousand dollars, from the late Hon. Jonathan Phillips, has been announced.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the changing process of evaluating objects during the period of Japan’s rapid modernization. Originally published in Japanese, Antiquarians of Nineteenth-Century Japan looks at the approach toward object-based research across the late Tokugawa and early Meiji periods, which were typically kept separate, and elucidates the intellectual continuities between these eras. Focusing on the top-down effects of the professionalizing of academia in the political landscape of Meiji Japan, which had advanced by attacking earlier modes of scholarship by antiquarians, Suzuki shows how those outside the government responded, retracted, or challenged new public rules and values. He explores the changing process of evaluating objects from the past in tandem with the attitudes and practices of antiquarians during the period of Japan’s rapid modernization. He shows their roots in the intellectual sphere of the late Tokugawa period while also detailing how they adapted to the new era. Suzuki also demonstrates that Japan’s antiquarians had much in common with those from Europe and the United States. Art historian Maki Fukuoka provides an introduction to the English translation that highlights the significance of Suzuki’s methodological and intellectual analyses and shows how his ideas will appeal to specialists and nonspecialists alike.
