Abstract

OUR readers will be sorry, though not surprised, to hear that the venerable Professor Sedgwick died at Trinity College, Cambridge, on the morning of the 27th instant, aged 87 years. He was fifth wrangler in Trinity in 1808, and was elected to a fellowship in 1810. His contributions to science were very numerous, and are mainly to be found in the Transactions of various learned societies.
