About This Item
We've been able to ascertain that James Glenn was of Pratt's Hollow, Madison Co, N.Y. and was a corresponding member of the National Institute for the Promotion of Science where he donated books, submitted occasional manuscripts (including one on Light) and donated his works (this title and the subsequent later edition in 1844 which included another work). Beyond that he seems to have had little visibility in the scientific world. Nonetheless for people interested in the evolution of thought in this area, the paper includes views that might be of some interest.
