John Torrey Papers.John Torrey Papers, 1788-1871 (bulk 1806-1871)5.5 linear feet (11 boxes)The collection consists of correspondence, both incoming and outgoing, from 1818 to 1873, and pertains to Torrey's work as a botanist and professor. Much of the scientific correspondence is in regard to the identification of plants from the vast interior of the continent through government sponsored expeditions, primarily John Fremont's second and third expeditions to the Rocky Mountains in 1842 and to Oregon and northern California in 1843. The collection contains plant lists and collecting localities as well as botanical notes and plant descriptions from Asa Gray and John Torrey.
A collection of letters to and from individuals other than John Torrey, (some of which pre-date Torrey's birth) are also contained in the collection. It is not clear how Torrey came to possess these letters.
Manuscripts of Torrey's Florula Princetoniana and Calendarium florae for the vicinity of New York have been cataloged and reside in the Rare Book Room. The collection also contains some artwork drawn by John Torrey himself, and other drawings he used as a reference for his identification work. The artwork from Torrey's Plants of New York for the Cabinet at Albany and Genera of Fungi were drawn by John Torrey. Other drawings include "'Figures of Hepaticae' copied from Hooker's great work", Musci exotici. The artwork has been removed to the New York Botanical Garden Art and Illustration collection - Collection #60.

Peter Lesley (1819-1903) left the ministry in 1852 to work full-time as a geologist. Having gained experience in structural geology and stratigraphy with the First Pennsylvania Geological Survey (1836-1842), Lesley became an expert in the geology of coal, working for the Pennsylvania Railroad and other corporations and conducting some of the first systematic studies of the state's hydrocarbon resources. A long-time professor at the University of Pennsylvania, he was elected to the APS in 1856, serving variously as its librarian, secretary, and vice president, and he was selected as Director of the Second Pennsylvania Geological Survey (1875-1889). The Lesley Papers include letters to and from Peter Lesley and his wife, Susan on geology, coal and iron mining, abolition, educational reform, organized charity, and Unitarianism. The collection offers important insight into academic and applied geology in late 19th century Pennsylvania, the development of the coal and iron industries, as well as into the Lesleys' progressive social and intellectual milieu. It is divided into three series: Lesley's general correspondence, his correspondence with his brother Joseph, and microfilms of Lesley's research notes.American Philosophical SocietyYale University.
