Excerpt from Address Delivered on the Centennial Anniversary of the Birth of Alexander Von Humboldt: Under the Auspices of the Boston Society of Natural History I AM invited to an unwonted task. Thus far I have appeared before the public only as a teacher of Natural History. To-day, for the first time in my life, I leave a field in which I am at home, to take upon myself the duties of a biographer. If I succeed at all, it will be because I so loved and honored the man whose memory brings us together. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
