The Centenary of the Wistar Party

"The Centenary of the Wistar Party" commemorates the 100th anniversary of a significant social and intellectual gathering in Philadelphia. This historical account, written in 1918, offers a glimpse into the traditions and significance of the Wistar Party, likely a society or club named in honor of Caspar Wistar, a prominent Philadelphia physician and anatomist of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

The book likely details the activities, members, and historical context of the Wistar Party during its first century. It provides valuable insights into the social and intellectual life of Philadelphia's elite during that period and preserves the legacy of this important cultural institution. Researchers interested in American social history, Philadelphia history, or the history of scientific and literary societies will find this volume a valuable resource.
