vi.] PROFESSORIAL LIFE. 159 



Zermatt, a place which was before -scarcely known, is 

 almost entirely due to Professor Forbes's picture of the 

 Mutterhorn. The power thus obtained was of course 

 used also for other purposes, and I know of at least one 

 excellent sketch of scenery and antiquarian remains 

 which still adorns a lady's portfolio. 



' It is needless for me to say after this how much the 

 loss of my valued friend was felt by Mrs. Airy and 

 myself. 



' I am, doar Madam, very faithfully yours, 



' G. B. AIRY/
