Excerpt from Wagner Free Institute of Science, of Philadelphia: Annual Announcement, Sixty-Seventh Year, 1914The Wagner Free Institute of Science owes its establishment to the liberality and public spirit of William Wagner and his wife Louisa Binney Wagner. In his early life Professor Wagner made extensive voyages in the service of Stephen Girard, and had opportunities to visit scientific institutions and make the ao quaintance of scientific workers. He soon developed a strong interest in the natural sciences, especially geology and mineralogy, and devoted a large part of his life to studying these topics and collecting material to illustrate the teaching of them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
