Loring Woart Bailey: the Story of a Man of Science

Abstract

IN this volume we are presented with an interesting life-history of one of the earliest leaders of scientific thought and education in the Maritime Provinces of Canada. In his scientific work, Dr. Bailey was closely associated with Dr. G. F. Matthew and rendered notable service to Dawson, Logan, and Selwyn in the earliest researches on the geology of what was then an unknown region. But he will perhaps be best remembered as having been for nearly half a century an active member of the faculty of the University of New Brunswick and as one of the little group of men who nurtured the Natural History Society in its infancy.
