Extract

The author undertook the determinations of these positions at the suggestion of Professor Gautier of Geneva, who informed him, that they had not been fixed by any direct observations. The great discrepancies of the best maps of the Alps in laying them down, confirm this opinion; and the author has quoted the latitudes and longitudes, given by the best authorities, at the end of his paper.
