Excerpt from Memoir of John Leconte, 1818-1891: Read Before the National Academy, April, 1894 Louis Le Conte, the father of John, was the elder brother of Major John Eatton Le Conte, so well known in the history of American science. He was born August 4, 1782, it is believed in Shrewsbury, N. J., but lived and received his early education in the city of New York, and was graduated in Columbia College in 1800, at the early age of eighteen. After graduation he studied medicine with the celebrated Dr. Hosack, but, it is believed, never graduated in that profession. He certainly, however, acquired great knowledge and skill in medicine, which was of great impor tance to him subsequently on his Georgia plantation. About 1810 he removed to Liberty county, Georgia, to take possession of a large property in land and negroes left him by his father, John. Liberty county was originally settled by a colony of English Puritans, who have left their strong impress on the character of the people of that county even to the present day. A more intelligent and moral community I have never seen. It received its name of Liberty in recognition of the fact that it was the first colony in Georgia to raise the ag of independence on the breaking out of the war of the Revolution, in 1776.

Benjamin Peirce was one of the principal contributors to nineteenth-century American science. He gained international prominence from his work on the perturbations of Neptune, and his Linear Associative Algebra was the first important mathematical research done by an American. He was a key figure in the professionalization of American science; and, as superintendent of the United States Coast Survey, he was an effective scientific administrator. Peirce also played an important role in the education of many American scientists, including Simon Newcomb, the most widely honored and recognized American scientist of the generation after Peirce, and Peirce's son. Charles Saunders. Peirce belonged to an impressive family of American intellectuals. The intellectual tradition in the family is apparent with Peirce's feminist mother, and his scholarly father, who wrote a history of Harvard College. The tradition finds its climax in Peirce's son, Charles, perhaps the most exceptional mind the United States has yet produced.
