Annotationes Concilii Bibliographici, 1907, Vol. 3 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Annotationes Concilii Bibliographici, 1907, Vol. 3 In the years 1888 to 1890, the writer was engaged in postgraduate em bryological investigation at Harvard University under the guidance of Prof. E. L. Mark. For the purposes of the research undertaken, it was neces sary to work through all previous publications on the subject. The search for these publications was a most laborious task and in the later stages would have seemed quite incommensurate with the results gained, if at the last some forgotten observations of considerable theoretical importance had not been unearthed. This work taught the writer the need of a greater adaptation of the sources of bibliographical information to the require ments of special investigations. In collaboration with the Harvard zoologists, he elaborated a plan for accomplishing such a reform and sub mitted it to a large number of zoologists connected with other American institutions. The approval was so unanimous, that it seemed wise to nu dertake a more general propaganda for its adoption. Having opened cor respondence with the Nestor of zoological bibliography, Prof. J. V. Game, the base of operations was transferred to Germany. Then began a period of traveling, during which time every country of Europe (save Portugal and the Balkans) was visited and conferences were arranged with those in each region who seemed able to give advice or aid. Addresses before scientific societies served also to gain friends for the project. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
