Memoir of Sir Benjamin Thompson, Count Rumford, with Notices of his Daughter

Abstract

THIS biography supplies a want that has been sorely felt by all who have desired to obtain a reliable account of Count Rumford's eventful life. It is, I think, impossible to name any equally eminent man of modern times concerning whom so little was known before the publication of this work. The only preceding sources of information, Prof. Pictet's letters, Prof. Renwick's sketch in “Sparks's Library of American Biography,” Cuvier's Eloge and the Cyclopaedia biographies made up from these and each other, are most vexatiously contradictory on points of primary interest. Aided by Rumford's own correspondence, and other original and direct sources of information, Mr. Ellis's industry has at last rescued us from these perplexities.

Memoir of Sir Benjamin Thompson, Count Rumford, with Notices of his Daughter.

By George E. Ellis, (Published in connection with an edition of Rumford's complete Works by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Boston.)
