Century Memorial
Those who knew Samuel Franklin Emmons, and understood his work will long recognize the worth of his character, and the value of his services to geology. Of Sir Caspar Purdon Clarke, his charming social qualities, his varied career and many-sided connoisseurship, there is scarcely need here to speak at length.
