I. THE WORKS OF FRANCIS ARAGO, MEMBER OF THE INSTITUTE, PERPETUAL SECRETARY OF THE ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, DIRECTOR OF THE OBSERVATORY OF PARIS. Translated by Rear-Admiral W. H. SMYTH, For. Sec. R. S., The Rev. BADEN POWELL, M.A., V.P.R.S., AND ROBERT GRANT, Esq. F.R.A.S., Author of History of Physical Astronomy, and Editor of Monthly The English Edition of ARAGO'S WORKS consists principally of Writings which are either here published for the first time, or which are so revised as to become new books. The Author prepared a History of his Early Life, consisting of a remarkably interesting AUTOBIOGRAPHY up to the time of his becoming Perpetual Secretary of the Academy of Sciences; and Baron A. VON HUMBOLDT has contributed a GENERAL PREFACE. For some years previous to his death in October last, ARAGO devoted his time to the revision of his Works, and to the writing of his POPULAR ASTRONOMY. On this subject a very imperfect Edition, collected from his Lectures by one of his Pupils, was published at Paris without the philosopher's consent. It was always repudiated by ARAGO as unworthy of him, and it has been suppressed. The following portions will be the first to appear : METEOROLOGICAL ESSAYS, to which is prefixed Humboldt's Introduction to Arago's Works. Translated under the superintendence of Lieut.-Colonel E. SABINE, R.A., Treasurer and V.P.R.S. 1 vol. 8vo., price 18s. cloth. Now ready. POPULAR ASTRONOMY. Translated by Rear-Admiral W. H. SMYTH, For. Sec. R.S.; assisted by R. GRANT, Esq., F.R.A.S. 2 vols.
