Lives of the Brothers Humboldt - Alexander & William Translated
from the original German at the turn of the century, this is an
exhaustive biography of both brothers Humboldt, with a section of
the book devoted to each. Friedrich Heinrich Alexander, Baron von
Humboldt, (September 14, 1769, Berlin-May 6, 1859, Berlin), was a
German naturalist and explorer, and the younger brother of the
Prussian minister, philosopher, and linguist Wilhelm von Humboldt.
Humboldt's quantitative work on botanical geography was
foundational to the field of biogeography. Friedrich Wilhelm
Christian Karl Ferdinand Freiherr von Humboldt (June 22, 1767 -
April 8, 1835), government functionary, foreign diplomat,
philosopher, founder of Humboldt Universitt in Berlin, friend of
Goethe and especially of Schiller, is especially remembered as a
German linguist who introduced a knowledge of the Basque language
to European intellectuals. Many of the earliest books, particularly
those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce
and increasingly expensive. Obscure Press are republishing these
classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using
the original text and artwork.
