Macloskie, George, 1834-1920

George Macloskie was a Princeton professor of biology (1875-1906) and an ordained Presbyterian minister and lawyer.

The bulk of the collection is comprised of notebooks, many used as the basis for class lectures and papers in biology and related subjects, such as zoology, comparative anatomy, botany, and physiology, as well as in law and theology. There are also notebooks on Esperanto, of which Macloskie was an enthusiast, the flora of Patagonia, and a scrapbook of leaves and flowers of Great Britain (1870).
