The nineteenth century, now nearing its close, has made an indelible impression upon the history of the world, and never were greater things accomplished with more marvellous rapidity. Every branch of science, without exception, has shared in this progress, and to it the daily accumulating information respecting different parts of the globe has greatly contributed. Regions, previously completely closed, have been, so to speak, simultaneously opened by the energy of explorers, who, like Livingstone, Stanley, and Nordenskiöld, have won immortal renown.

And all this is but a small portion of the work on which the present generation may justly pride itself. Distant wars too have contributed in no small measure to the progress of science. To the victorious march of the French army we owe the discovery of new facts relative to the ancient history of Algeria it was the advance of the English and Russian forces that revealed the secret of the mysterious lands in the heart of Asia whence many scholars believe the European races to have first issued and of this ever open book the French expedition to Tonquin may be considered at present one of the last pages. Geographical knowledge does much to promote the progress of the kindred sciences. The work of Champollion so brilliantly supplemented by the Vicomte de Rougé and Mariette Bey has led to the accurate classification of the monuments of Egypt. The deciphering of the cuneiform .
