| Summary | "Letters of Asa Gray; Vol. 2" by Asa Gray is a collection of personal and scientific correspondence written in the late 19th century. The book captures the life, travels, and reflections of Dr. Asa Gray, a prominent American botanist, as he engages with fellow scientists and discusses various botanical studies, travels across Europe and America, and his personal experiences during this time. The opening of this volume focuses on Dr. Gray's second journey to Europe between 1850 and 1859, detailing his voyage from America alongside his wife, Mrs. Gray. It describes their experiences in England and various European countries, including visits to botanical gardens and meetings with notable scientific figures such as Mr. Hooker and Mr. Brown. As Dr. Gray recounts their travels—including visits to iconic locations like Warwick Castle and the cathedral in Cologne—his letters reflect on his passion for botany as well as his personal interactions, presenting a vivid picture of the landscapes and scientific discourse of his time.
