Publisher's Synopsis
The book Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society V42, May to December, 1903 is a collection of papers and discussions held during the meetings of the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia during that time period. The society was founded in 1743 by Benjamin Franklin with the aim of promoting useful knowledge, and this book is a record of their efforts towards that goal. The papers cover a wide range of topics including natural history, mathematics, physics, anthropology, and history. The discussions are also varied, focusing on topics such as the education of women, the history of science, and the role of the philosopher in society. This book provides a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual life of America at the turn of the 20th century and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of science and philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
