DEATH OF PROFESSOR NICHOL We have to record with unfeigned regret—a feeling which will Jbe shared in by a wide circle of :scientific' and other friends—the death _of John Pringle Nichol, LL.D., Professor of Astronomy. in the University of Glasgow, which took place. In Mbnda3i afternoon, at Glenburn House, Rothesay, the hydropathic establishment of Dr. Pntersorn , Dr.-. Nichol had been indelicate health for' a considerable time past, and though, - during a sojourn at Rothesay early in the summer _of this year he appeared to have rallied somewhat, tha 'state, of his constitution was still very feeble. On Tuesday, last week, his con dition was such' as to induce'his friends to advise his assumed a more alarming aspect, - and .from that day he continued gradually to sink till the afternoon .of Mon day, when he expired from congestion of the brain,, re sulting from a palpitation of. the heart. • Professor Nichol was a native of, Brechin, in Forfar shire, where he was born on the 13th of January, 1804. After acquiring the crdinary rUdiments of education, he entered King'S College, Aberdeen, where, as a stuff dent Of mathematics, he greatly distinguished himself. He was subsequently enipToyed as a - teacher in different towns, and filled the office of rector of Montrose Aca demy. Having originally been intended for the Church, he went through a course of theological train ing ; but literature and science proved more. attractive 01,171 thenlnow_ rind to these he sneehilly daunted himself_ In 180, he was appointed by the Crown Professor of Astronomy in Glasgow Vniversity. His various works— "'The Architecture -of the Heavens," " The Solar System," " The Planetary System," " The Planet Nep tune," and the ."
