Heinrich Gustav Magnus

Abstract

IN giving expression to the sympathy generally excited by the loss of Magnus, Professor Tyndall has raised the interest of the British public in a philosopher's life, simple, yet most eminently useful. At the present moment a mere outline of it is all we can venture to offer. Unable to appease, it may yet prove sufficient to keep up the interest in Magnus's life until a fuller biography will do more ample justice to his merits.
