WE cordially welcome this admirable translation of the only biography of A. v. Humboldt that has yet appeared possessing any authentic or scientific value. Humboldt's own definitely expressed aversion to biographical notices, whether in regard to himself or his friends, the fact of his having outlived nearly all his blood-relations and the greater number of the contemporaries of his earlier working years, together with other causes, combined, for a time, to retard the appearance of a trustworthy life of this remarkable man.Life of Alexander von Humboldt,compiled by F. Löwenberg, Robert Ave-Lallemant, and Alfred Dove. Edited by Professor Karl Bruhns. Translated by J. and C. Lassell. 2 vols. (London Longmans, 1873.)
