Book excerpt: "The vocabularies of Indian languages of British Columbia here printed, were, for the most part, collected by Dr. W.F. Tolmie and the writer [George M. Dawson] in Victoria during the winter of 1875-76. The result aimed at was to obtain a short series of the principal words of all the languages and dialects spoken in the province on a uniform system. ... The map accompanying this publication embraces a large amount of information respecting the distribution of the various tribes, covering an area west of the Rocky Mountains of about 200,000 squre miles, and filling what remained as a gap between Mr. W.H.

Book Enlightened Zeal

Download or read book Enlightened Zeal written by Theodore Binnema and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2014-03-21 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enlightened Zeal examines the fascinating history of the Hudson’s Bay Company’s involvement in scientific networks during the company’s two-hundred year chartered monopoly. Working from the company’s voluminous records, Ted Binnema demonstrates the significance of science in the company’s corporate strategies. Initially highly secretive about all of its activities, the HBC was by 1870 an exceptionally generous patron of science. Aware of the ways that a commitment to scientific research could burnish its corporate reputation, the company participated in intricate symbiotic networks that linked the HBC as a corporation with individuals and scientific organizations in England, Scotland, and the United States. The pursuit of scientific knowledge could bring wealth and influence, along with tribute, fame, and renown, but science also brought less tangible benefits: adventure, health, happiness, male companionship, self-improvement, or a sense of meaning. The first study of scientific research in any chartered company over the entire course of its monopoly, Enlightened Zeal expands our understanding of social networks in science, establishes the vast scope of the HBC’s contribution to public knowledge, and will inspire new research into the history of science in other chartered monopolies.
