Jeffries Wyman (1814-74), a pioneer anthropologist of
nineteenth-century America and one of its great comparative
anatomists, was the Hersey Professor of Anatomy at Harvard
University and, later, a trustee of the Peabody Museum and
professor of American Archaeology and Ethnology.
Wyman wrote the 59 letters in this volume to his only son
Jeffie. Dating from 1866, when Jeffie was two, until Wyman's death
in 1874, when Jeffie was ten, the letters reveal a great scientist
trying to instill in his son the concepts of acute observation and
wonder. Wyman's charming, quizzical drawings embellish the text,
which will be appreciated by children and adults alike.
