Œuvres complètes de Jean-Charles Galissard de Marignac

Abstract

AMONG the great chemists of the nineteenth century, and especially those engaged with inorganic chemistry, Jean-Charles Galissard de Marignac takes high rank, and in the notable advances which were made in chemical science during his lifetime he played a conspicuous part. The pride which his native city felt in his long and fruitful career has found expression in this sumptuous edition of his published papers, a worthy monument to the untiring energy that characterised him all his life so long as strength remained. It has been issued under the auspices of the Société de Physique et d'Histoire naturelle. The editing has been entrusted to the capable hands of his son-in-law and, for a time, colleague, Prof. E. Ador, who has executed what was evidently a labour of love with reverent care, and has contributed the interesting sketch of the life and works of Marignac which prefaces the first volume.
