'''Abercrombie, John''', Scottish physician, b. at Aberdeen, Oct. 10, 1780; d. Nov. 14, 1844. Went in 1800 to Edinburgh where he studied medicine, taking his degree in 1803. After further studies at St. George’s Hospital in London, he returned to Edinburgh and began practicing. He was connected with the public dispensary, and specialized in acquiring knowledge of the moral and physical condition of the poor. He combined metaphysical interests with his scientific research, and is best remembered as the author of *In- quiries Concerning the Intellectual Powers and the Investigation of Truth (Edinburgh, 1830). Towards the end of his life he decided to quit the established church. His literary output on scientific subjects was very considerable. | |||

'''Agrippa von Nettesheim, Henry Cornelius (1486-1535)'''. *De occulta philosophia. A work written in 1510, partly under the influence of his friend, John Trithemius, but which was not published until 1531, when Vol. I appeared at Antwerp. The first edition of all the three volumes is that of the Fratres Beringo, Lugduni (Lyon), 1533. A fourth and spurious volume has been circulated later. | |||
The passages used by H.P.B. are, however, from Henry Morley’s work entitled *The Life of Henry Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim, Doctor and Knight, Commonly known as a Magician. London: Chapman and Hall, 1856, 2 vols. | |||

'''Ampère, André Marie'''. French physicist, b. at Polémieux, near Lyons, Jan. 22, 1775; d. at Marseilles, June 10, 1836. His father perished on the scaffold during the revolution, producing a powerful impression on the young man who remained depressed for a long time. In 1809, he became prof, of mathematics at the École Polytechnique in Paris, and, owing to his scientific researches, was admitted to the Institute in 1814. He established the relation between electricity and magnetism, developed a mathematical theory which explained the electro-magnetic phenomena already observed, and predicted many more. Apart from many important scientific papers, he is the author of a remarkable Essai sur la philosophie des sciences (1838-43). Ampère was a kindly and simple character who suffered many personal blows in life, but rose valiantly above them. | |||
