M. CARNOT. 



W iTH our present number we have given a head of the 

 above celebrated French author, whose ^cellent Treatises 

 on the Infinitesimal Calculus, and on Machines, have ap- 

 peared in this work. Of a character so well known among

 first Legislative Assembly, the National Convention, the 

 Directory, and the National Institute of France. In 1800 

 he was the French minister of war. Besides the works al-
