Inscribed by the author: "Presented to Rev. E. Hazard Snowden D.D. by the tenth President of Princeton College, by his Son. John Maclean, because of the great Friendship of his father and mother and my grandfather and grandmother The Rev. Samuel Finley Snowden and Susan Beebe Snowden and presented to my dearest and kindest friend. Who has cheered and comforted more than any other friend in my last years of Life. Mrs. Wm. Wallace Witherspoon of New York City and New Hartford July 12, 1894." Maclean was not only the first chemistry professor of the College of New Jersey, but the first of any American college other than medical institutions. His son was the tenth -- and perhaps most popular -- President of Princeton College.
