Abstract
THIS is a very miscellaneous volume. There are some obituary notices and discourses on anniversaries; an essay or two from reviews and reports; a chapter of a book; and two original papers. Everything that M. Picard writes is worth reading, but here he is usually reproducing arguments and views familiar to all who know his work. The personal articles are more distinctive; M. Picard excels in a form in which so many of his countrymen are eminent; the account of Abel's life and work is a model of concise scientific biography.
