Cox is named in the NYBG's charter in 1891 as one of the founders, and he was largely responsible for the funding of the charter. Though he had no real scientific background he had a keen interest in all areas of the natural sciences and formed one of the most complete collections of Darwiniana. His papers reside at the NYBG, and these notes about him were found on their website. This volume was from his personal library, with "C.F. Cox" in gilt at base of spine.
