Notes

[1] Darcy: Patrick, Count Darcy, an engineer officer, was born at Galway, on 27th September, 1723. He was sent to an uncle in Paris in 1739. There he studied under Clairaut, and at the age of seventeen distinguished himself by the solution of some extremely difficult mathematical problems. He made two campaigns in Germany and one in Flanders—being Colonel in the Irish Brigade at Rosbach in 1757. His essay on artillery and on scientific questions display genius and solidity of judgment. He died in Paris, of cholera, on the 18th October, 1799, aged 56 years. A eulogium was pronounced upon him by Condorcet.—WEBB.
