46 Biographical Memoir of 
every lover of science, and by all our academies—the eminent 
Professor, who has formed so many students, and who in 
their turn became celebrated savans—and for the enlighten-

Werner, as well as of that later scientific intercourse, which 
induced one of our most active members, M. Haidinger, to
