REMINISCENCES OF A SCIENTIST 



The Autobiography of Joseph Le Conte. 



With portrait. I2mo. Cloth, $1.25 net. 



Professor Le Conte was widely known as a 

 man of science, and notably as a geologist. His 

 later years were spent at the University of Cali- 

 fornia. But his early life was passed in the South ; 

 there he was born and spent his youth ; there he 

 was living when the civil war brought ruin to 

 his home and his inherited estate. His reminis- 

 cences deal with phases of life in the South that 

 have unfailing interest to all students of American 

 history. His account of the war as he saw it has 

 permanent value. He was in Georgia when 

 Sherman marched across it. Professor Le Conte 

 knew Agassiz, and writes charmingly of his 

 associations with him.
