This series includes John William Dawson's papers, which are chiefly scientific and scholarly in character, with some materials reflecting other aspects of Dawson's career, particularly educational work and religious controversy.

This file contains a bound offprint of "The rights and duties of science" by J.W. Dawson from the Princeton Review. A note on the cover reads, "Tr. no. 4, vol. 19."

Sub-subseries consists of manuscript essays and addresses on scientific subjects falling into four categories: (1) popular lectures, not only on geology, but also on biology, entomology, physics, archaeology and even linguistics; (2) mining, particularly of Nova Scotia coal, with some reports and maps; (3) geology, largely of Nova Scotia, and (4) palaeontology (approximately 72 cm). Some of the materials in sub-subseries are drafts of works later published, and these papers also contain 80 cm of Dawson's printed books and articles.
