Abstract
SWITZERLAND has in one month been shorn of two of her most distinguished ornaments. De La Rive and Agassiz have died within a fortnight of each other, and the “Académie des Sciences” has thus been deprived in the same month of a fourth of its Foreign Associates. Agassiz will no doubt find, both in Switzerland and America, more than one pen competent to describe his labours in the field of science; but a few lines on the life and researches of de la Rive are due to this distinguished philosopher, and will be read with interest in this country, which he has often visited, and in which he had many friends.
