Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of the Geological Society of America, 1890, Vol. 1 Transactions of the Association of American Geologists and Naturalists. The inclusion of Naturalists had been determined in 1843. The number of members was seventy-seven. Meetings were also held annually until 1847. The Transactions were published in the American Journal of Science for the corresponding years. In 1847 it was voted to resolve the organization into The American Association for the Advancement Of Science. In such capacity it assembled in Philadelphia, September 20, 1848. Thus the American Association was, in its incipiency, a body of geologists, and its first Constitution was prepared by the geologists assembled in Boston, in 1847. After the creation Of the broader organization, geology shared with the other sciences such facilities as the Association afforded, and on the last reorganization it was recognized (with Geography) as Section E. \vith the numerical growth of the Association, the multiplication of its sec tions, the expanding volume Of its proceedings, the increasing amount of its general business, and the diminished opportunities for scientific work, it began to be felt that the aims of American geology might perhaps be better served by a return to the original status. The question was held under ia formal consideration for several years. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
