Abstract
THE Paris Academy of Sciences has suffere another loss in the death of M. Jamin, Perpetual Secretary for the Section of Physical Science, and the immediate successor of M. Dumas. M. Jamin can hardly be said to have filled his office, as he was attacked by disease of the heart very soon after his nomination. He was elected a member of the Academy in 188 to fill the place vacated by the death of Pouillet. He was a very eloquent teacher and debater, and a frequent contributor to the Revue des deux Mondes. His “Cours de Physique a l'École Polytechnique,” is a very extensive work. He also published many papers in the Transactions of the Academy of Sciences, and patented an electric light. He was born in 1813, and educated at l'École Normale.
