Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Magazine of Popular Science, Vol. 4: And Journal of the Useful Arts It may be thought superfluous, if not impertinent, at the present day, to say who M. Arago is, or to describe his position and influence in the scientific world. We pass on, therefore, to his paper, and English men must not stand unconcerned, when he stretches out his powerful arm, to obliterate the honour, now almost sacred by age, of an ingenious com patriot, and to extinguish a very brilliant star in the constellation of national glory. Such is the aim of M. Arago. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
