John Merle Coulter contributed tremendously to the rapid advance of
botany in North America during the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries. An exploring mind, deeply religious spirit,
and scientist's respect for truth, combined with singular personal
charm, made of him not only a missionary in science, but a natural
leader among the botanists of the United States. He set for his
goal the building of a complete structure of the house of botany,
and he took the lead in organizing defined branches of study which
eliminated the waste of duplicated effort. The thread of this story
of his life is maintained largely through excerpts of the
correspondence of Coulter and his associates and by means of
articles from the Botanical Gazette, which he founded. Originally
published in 1944. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
