Biographical History
A noted collector of books and manuscripts, an anthropologist, and a life member of the Connecticut Historical Society.
James Terry was interested in a variety of scientific and historical subjects. At some point in his career he appears to have worked at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City and he published his only book, Sculptured Anthropoid Ape Heads..., in 1891. For part of his life, Terry resided in Hartford, Ct. and was an antiques dealer. He primarily sold china manufactured by Enoch Wood and Ridgway. In addition, he was an avid collector of early American bookplates and pursued this interest in conjunction with his desire to write a history of early American libraries, both institutional and individual.
