for the character of Dr. Hutton, and as a 
tribute of gratitude for his important la¬ 
bours in the advancement and diffusion 
ot mathematical learning, during the 
long period of sixty years : a period 
which will be memorable in the history 
of science, on account of his meritorious 
services both as an author and' teacher. 
As an author, it is well known that his 
numerous publications have been uni¬ 
formly held in the greatest estimation, 
and that even his earliest productions 
continue as standard works of increas¬ 
ing popularity in every country where 
the English language is understood. As 
a teacher, his labours have been singu¬ 
larly successful, especially as Professor 
of Mathematics for nearly forty years in 
the Royal Military Academy at Wool¬ 
wich ; an institution which, by his ju¬ 
dicious plans and unremitting care, he 
laised to tile highest degree of celebrity 
and national importance. A model of 
the intended bust is already completed, 
and is considered a very accurate like¬ 
ness. It may be seen at the sculptor’s 
premises, No. 3/, King Street, Edge- 
ware Road^ Casts of the busts at two 
guineas each, will be prepared for such 
ti iends of Dr. Hutton as may chuse to 
order them, but the marble bust is to 
be given to the Doctor himself, with 
the hope that he will hereafter present 
it to some scientific institution.

of the first mechanists of England, of 
theii latest improved ajid best engines, 
including some of the largest which 
have yet been constructed. The article 
Steam Engine in Dr. Rees’s Cyclopedia, 
is a specimen of the great store of mi¬ 
nute and practical inforn ation which

hisfoi y and construction, of this primum 
mobile of mechanic industry, and as to 
its application, almost throughout t lie
