Lavoisier . It is known , for example , that he concurred with the illustrioOs Cherint iu the invention of a calorimeter , the use of which , it is true , is now abandoned , but which for a long time offered
the only means of attaining the end to which it was destined . It would be unjust in speaking of the labours of M . Laplace to say nothing of the calculation of probabilities ; for if he may be justly reproached with having endeavoured to reduce to his system questions which no calculation can touch , it must not be denied that he arrived at the solution of many problems of great importance .
We shall conclude this notice with hinting at a proposition , made a short time since to the Acadlmie des Sciences , by M . Laplace , and which may be regarded as the expression of his last soli , citude for the progress of science . This illustrious old man desired that
documents should be prepared for the purpose of supplying posterity with information , the want of which has been so severely felt by the learned of the present day , by determining , as correctly as the actual state of knowledge will allow , the principal elements of the constitution of the terrestrial globe . The academy took this request into consideration , and
decided that a preparatory commission should be nominated for that purpose . This commission has not yet been appointed . Would it not be paying a just and appropriate tribute to the memory of Laplace , to hasten the execution of this proposition?—[ Translatedfrom Le Globe . } _

Clear to the last thy setting orb has run , Pure , bright and healthy , like a frosty sun ; And late old age , with hand indulgent , shed
Its mildest winter on . thy favoured head . For heaven prolong ed her life to spread its praise , And bless'd her with a patriarch ' s length of days : The truest praise was hers , a cheerful heart , Prone to enjoy , and ready to impart ; An Israelite indeed , and free from guile , She shewed that piety and age could smile .
Religiou had her heart , her cares , her voice ; 'Twas her last refuge , as her earliest choice . Matur'd at length for some more perfect scene , Her hopes all bright , her prospects all serene ;
Each part of life sustain ed with equal worth , And not a wish left un fulfil I'd on earth ; Like a tir'd traveller with sleep oppress'd , Within her children ' s arms she dropp'd to rest . Farewell ! thy cherish ' d image , ever dear , Shall many a heart with pious love
revere . Her remains were interred in the chancel of the church of Sproughton , where , on a flat stone , is the following inscription to her memory :
