Abstract
WE are called upon to chronicle a new loss to French science in the death, on April 24, of the well-known chemist Prof. Malaguti. He was born in Bologna February 15, 1802, his father being a pharmaceutical chemist. At the age of sixteen he completed the course in pharmacy at the Bologna University, and undertook the direction of his father's establishment. Although holding himself aloof from political questions, he became unintentionally involved in the complications of 1831, and was forced to leave his native land. He arrived at Paris unfamiliar with the French language, and succeeded in exciting the sympathies of Gay Lussac, who admitted him into his laboratory as, assistant to Pelouze. After finishing a course in the École Polytechnique, he was appointed, in 1843, chemist to the porcelain manufactory at Sèvres. Soon after he received the degree of doctor of science, and in 1850, as the result of a competitive examination, was appointed to the chair of chemistry in the scientific faculty of Rennes, a position which he has since then occupied. In 1855 he was elected dean of the faculty.
