4.9/5 (12484 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Louis Agassiz Lowell says of Agassiz that "a good leash of mother-tongues had he." Agassiz indeed used French, German, and English almost indifferently; and his biographers have used them almost equally. Everything needed for this small volume has, however, been reduced to a dead level of English. It may be said as truly that Agassiz was strongly conscious of two nationalities. A short account of his life has already been included in a series dealing with Eminent Swiss: he is here presented as an Eminent American; and he was truly both, and found the two loyalties compatible. The most valuable legacies of scientific men are left to the whole world, with no restraint of place and little of time. But there are a few gifts which they leave, as other men leave them, to one country or to one community. And whatever in Agassiz's gift was necessarily thus restricted we find to-day in America, not in Europe. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
