Louis Agassiz（Edited by Edward Lurie）
（2004年7月刊行，Dover Publications，xxxiv+268 pp., ISBN:0486435806 [pbk] → 版元ページ）
原本のコピーをもっていたので買いそびれていた．次号（5月号）の『本』連載記事（第11回目）の舞台となるハーヴァード大学比較動物学博物館（MCZ）は，昔から進化学では数多くの逸材を輩出してきたミュージアムだった．しかし，もともと MCZ は，反進化論を高らかに掲げた Louis Agassiz が若手動物分類学者の練成のための“道場”として造ったものだ．
その Agassiz が一般分類学の哲学を論じた『Essay on Classification（分類論）』は，1857年にアメリカで出版され，その2年後の1859年，くしくも『種の起源』が出たのと同じ年にロンドンで改訂版が出版された．この改訂版は，Agassiz 論で学位を取り，のちに大きな Agassiz 伝を著した Edward Lurie の手によって1962年に復刻された．上記の Dover 版はこの1962年本のリプリントだ．Lurieによる詳細な解説記事が最初に載っている．
1962年の復刻本は，当時の東大・総合研究資料館に嘱託として在籍していた阿部宗明さんの蔵書を借りてコピーさせてもらった．
