Abstract
ON another page in this issue will be found the names of some of the most notable men of science, engineers and inventors who died in 1834. The list, although it is not an exhaustive one, is representative, and recalls the activities of some of those who lived in the first third of the nineteenth century, a period which was marked by a great increase in scientific studies, in the number of scientific and technical journals and in the list of scientific societies. It was, moreover, a period which ushered in those revolutions in transport and communication which will always render the nineteenth century memorable.
