Warner, John, -1873. Letters and papers, 1850-1864

Title: John Warner letters and papers, 1850-1864

The major portion of this correspondence deals with the controversy which arose when Benjamin Peirce, after having seen the manuscript of Warner's "Studies in Organic Morphology" (Philadelphia, 1857), read a paper on morphology before the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1855). Other topics discussed include the alleged "Harvard clique," the administration of the Dudley Observatory (Albany, N.Y.), and the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey.
