Abstract
UNDER the able editorship of M. Lebon, who enjoys a considerable reputation in his own country as a mathematician and mathematical astronomer, the enterprising firm of Gauthier-Villars is engaged in bringing out a series of monographs on the lives and achievements of the contemporary men of science of France. Up to the present the numbers published deal with the scientific careers of MM. Poincare, Darboux, Picard, and Appell. Each memoir occupies from 70 to 80 large 8vo pages, printed on thick hand-made paper with ample margins, and containing a photogravure portrait of its subject, the whole constituting a remarkably handsome work well worthy of the reputation of the eminent publishing house concerned in its production.
