424 CONCLUSION. “od 
ed over all parts of the civilized world, and, at the 
present day, there is not a man of science in Europe 
whose name is more familiar. Long after his ca- 
reer shall have terminated, he will be remembered 
as one of the chief ornaments of an age peculiarly 
remarkable in the history of the world. As there 
is a natural desire in most people to become ac- 
quainted with the physical tenement of a mind 
whose productions have excited interest, or_.afforded 
useful knowledge, the publishers have endeavoured 
to gratify it in some measure, by prefixing a por- 
trait of this distinguished philosopher in his younger 
days. It were easy to point outin this delineation 
the most decided marks of that capacious intellect 
and gentleness of disposition,—that combination of 
power and benignity,—by which he is character- 
ized ; but the physiognomist needs no assistance in a 
matter of this kind, for when the character is known, 
it is easy to read it in the features. 
THE END.
