Abstract
IT is with feelings of pleasure that we call the attention of our readers to the fact that rather more than one month ago the Academy of Sciences at Berlin, at its meeting on the 25th of January, commemorated with great rejoicing and some very pardonable pride the work which its members have done in the world during the last hundred years. The subjects which have been investigated by this distinguished body include almost every branch of human knowledge, and although at this date we are too near in point of time to be able to judge definitely and finally as to the value of the work which the German scholars and men of science, whose names are written on its books, have done, there is no room for doubting that they have enlarged the bounds of human knowledge in every direction, and have brought us many degrees nearer to the goal sought by all honest investigators.
