Circular to the American Philosophical Society | March 13, 1849 | 20 cm x 25 cm | ||
At a meeting of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in Boston, 13th March, 1849, the vice president (Mr. Edward Everett) laid before the academy a letter from Professor H. C. Schumacher, dated at Altona, 26th January, 1849. In this letter Mr. Schumacher states that his position at Altona, in connection with the observatory and the publication of the Astronomische Nachrichten, is rendered precarious. An attempt to obtain expressions of support for Schumacher whose astronomical research and publication were endangered by the strained political relations between Denmark and the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. Requests that scientific societies in the United States add their written support to that rendered by the world scientific community. Reprints such letters of support from A[lexander] von Humboldt, M. [Dominique-François-Jean] Arago, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Signed in type by Edward Everett, Benjamin Peirce, and J. Ingersoll Bowditch, members of the committee appointed to communicate the academy's position.
