The Biographical Memoir of Alpheus Spring Packard, 1839-1905 is a book written by Theodore Dru Alison Cockerell and published in 1920. The book is a detailed account of the life and achievements of Alpheus Spring Packard, a prominent American entomologist and zoologist who lived from 1839 to 1905. The book covers Packard's early life and education, his career as a professor of zoology and entomology at Brown University and Bowdoin College, and his extensive research and publications on insects, spiders, and other animals. The book also examines Packard's contributions to the development of the field of evolutionary biology, his work on the theory of natural selection, and his role in promoting the study of zoology and entomology in the United States.In addition to Packard's scientific achievements, the book also delves into his personal life, including his family background, his marriage and children, and his relationships with other prominent scientists and intellectuals of his time.
