OBITUARY OF THE MONTH. 
_ LACEPEDE. 
ERNARD Germain Etienne Laville, 
ae Count de Lacepéde, was born at Agen, 
the 16th December 1756, of a noble fami- 
‘ly: he entered the Bavarian service, but 
abandoned the field of honour for the 
‘sciences. At that period Buffon was in the 
zenith of his glory. Science herself seemed 
dovely in his descriptions, and Lacepéde 
soon became his most distinguished pupil. 
Buffon and Daubenton obtained for young 
Lacepéde the situation of keeper of the 
cabinets of the king’s garden at Paris. 
‘When the Revolution broke out he had 
already published the WNatural History of 
Oviparous Quadrupeds and Serpents, in con- 
tinuation of Buffon. But Lacepéde’s en- 
‘thusiasm did not blind him to his defects. 
Comparative anatomy was then merely the 
skeleton of a science, though Aristotle had 
eho 
facts, and modern naturalists had made some 
progress towards a regular classification of 
a few orders; when Linneus and John 
Hunter appeared, and opened a new field 
for the enquiries into the mysteries of na- 
ture. Lacepéde was one of the first in 
France to appreciate the superiority of 
their system. But he had soon reason to 
find, that comparative anatomy was still in 
a very imperfect state: it was. reserved for 
M. Cuvier to collect the scattered frag- 
ments and embody them into systems at 
once beautiful and harmonious. The cabi- 
net of comparative anatomy, at the Garden 
of Plants, is a splendid monument of his 
genius, learning, and immense obserya- 
tion. * ’

ably in the course of translation, ‘and pub-
