Papers, 1857-1895.

This small collection of the lectures and debates and early writings of Babcock touch on his scientific interests and his performance as a schoolboy at Boston English High School. A bound volume of Babcock's high school compositions, 1857-1860, also includes material from an editorial stint as editor for the Berkeley Literary Association, 1862-1865, and some debating manuscripts on women's rights, 1862-1869. There are also two manuscripts for lectures: the first was "The Modern Science of Christianity," delivered in Boston in 1865, and "The Chemical History of a Grain of Salt," delivered twenty times in the period, 1870-1895.
