S. Under the titles Science and Scientists, Science or Romance? Evolutionary Philosophy and Common Sense. Although the topics of which they treat are very various, and, it may seem, diverse, they have this in common, that all deal with points raised by the more prominent and dogmatic Evolutionists, whose writings are familiar to the public; whilst the object of all is to show that we have the means ofjudging for ourselves concerning much which we are commonly hidden to accept on the authority of experts.

Excerpt from Cultures and Institutions of Natural History: Essays in the History and Philosophy of Science This volume consists mainly of papers delivered at two meetings cosponsored by the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale in Milan and the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. The first, on the Culture of Natural History, was held in Milan, November l4-l 6, I996. The second, on Institutions of Natural History, was held in San Francisco, October 5 - 7, 1998. They followed two earlier conferences on Biology as History (pinna and Ghiselin I996; Ghiselin and Pinna I996) likewise held in Milan and San Francisco. We intend to continue the series of meetings and have publications based on them in commemoration of the Academy's sesquicentennial in 2003. The emphasis here is mainly upon natural history museums and the kind of science that goes on in them. Although the essays were originally written to stand by themselves, when arranged in chronological order they suggest a common theme. To paraphrase Darwin, the culture and institutions of natural history have been, and are being, evolved. They have adapted to local circumstances, diversified, and sometimes even progressed. We may hope that the future holds more than just retrogression and extinction in store. Read as case studies the essays provide valuable insights into not just how, but why, the institutions have come into being and subsequently been transformed. Previous generations had quite different ideas than we do about how a collection of naturalia is supposed to function and how it should be organized. And there were con icting goals and serious disputes about policy, much as there are today. Often, though not always, the institutions turn out to be very different from what had been envisioned by their founders.

Excerpt from Natural History Essays The kind reception accorded to certain lectures and magazine articles has encouraged the preparation of this little work. In it an attempt has been made to describe typical examples of the mammalian fauna of Africa as seen both from the zoological and the historical stand point. The information upon which this book is based being the outcome of several years' investigation, research, and correspondence, I hasten to express in this place my grateful thanks for many courtesies received from various scientific gentlemen, not only in this country but also in America, Africa, and on the.

Excerpt from Essays on Museums: And Other Subjects Connected With Natural History Having lately, during an enforced period of restraint from active occupation, had leisure to look back upon the events of a somewhat busy life, it occurred to me that besides the administration, in succession, of two large public museums, and some original scientific investigation, the results of which can be of interest only to the very few, there have been occasions which have involved a contact with wider and more varied circles. Though the records of these occasions have doubtless been mainly of passing or local concern, it is possible that something may be found among them worth placing in a more accessible and permanent form than in the scattered journals or pamphlets in which they can only he found at present. Such of these essays and addresses as seemed suitable for republication in the present collection mainly group themselves under three distinct branches of the many into which the intellectual and educational activity of our age is manifested. 1. Those which are here placed first are, more closely than any others, connected with the practical work of my life, - the advancement of scientific knowledge through the development of museums. Here I cannot refrain from expressing my deep sense of the loss this cause has recently sustained by the premature death of Dr. Brown Goode, Director of the United States National Museum.
