SIR HUMPHRY DAVY.

Sincerely do we regret to announce the death of this great and good

man--the most celebrated philosopher of our times, who has done more for

the happiness of his species than any associated Academy in Europe. He

died at Geneva, May 29, aged 51. We shall endeavour to do justice to his

talents and amiable character, in a Memoir to be published at the close of

this volume of THE MIRROR--prefixed to which will be a fine Portrait of

the illustrious deceased.
