Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the Academy of Science and Letters of Sioux City, Iowa, Vol. 2: For 1905-6 When the first volume was published, the members of the Academy hoped to be able to follow it up with' succeeding numbers at intervals of two years. As with the first volume, the question of finances was the most important and hardest to be overcome, so it was with this, the second. But here again our way has been made smooth for us. A kind friend said to us: Go ahead with the book and I will see to it that the money will be ready when it is needed. This kind friend is Mrs. John H. Charles, who has been so long connected with the Academy and its predecessor, the Scientific Asso ciation. She, with her husband, Mr. John H. Charles, who finished his work and left us a little more than a year ago, has been a member of our association since its organization in 1885. Her interest, sympathy and help have been freely given to us through all the years of our existence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
