Henry,

I find it ironic that you call the text that you attached to your last message "unabridged" and "uneditorialized". In fact, it is an abridged, highly edited and dumbed down rehash of Zund's article on Chauvenet in the American National Biography. I must say that the St. Andrews website is not my first choice when I look for a biography. The articles are badly written, often inaccurate and sometimes plagiary. It does not help that the editors of the website ignore corrections of factual errors when they are sent to them.
