　　Mary Somerville (1780–1872) would have been a remarkable woman

in any age, but as an acknowledged leading mathematician and

astronomer at a time when the education of most women was extremely

restricted, her achievement was extraordinary. Laplace famously

told her that 'there have been only three women who have understood

me. These are yourself, Mrs Somerville, Caroline Herschel and a Mrs

Greig of whom I know nothing.' Mary Somerville was in fact Mrs

Greig. After (as she herself said) translating Laplace's work 'from

algebra into common language', she wrote On the Connexion of the

Physical Sciences (1834), also reissued in this series. Her next

book, the two-volume Physical Geography (1848), was a synthesis of

geography, geology, botany, astronomy and zoology, drawing on the

most recent discoveries in all these fields to present an overview

of current understanding of the natural world and the Earth's place

in the universe.
