The papers were originally given as a seminar held at the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library, UCLA, in 1996. The volume was edited by Lawrence E. Klein and Anthony J. La Vopa, and includes contributions by the editors as well as J. G. A. Pocock, Jan Goldstein, Mary Sheriff, Peter Fenves, and Jon Mee. In the Notes and Documents section, a Huntington copy of a Mexican pictorial census from the sixteenth century is identified and described. All of the contributions show the way in which the representation of natural phenomena served the purpose of defining and celebrating the new nation, sometimes under God, and suggest the cultural dimensions of scientific discovery. This issue was published as a separate book of the same title.
