    Reports that the Hungarian military leader Arthur Görgei, has contributed a paper to the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest, on 'Cocoa Nut Oil' and 'in his late transactions with Russia learned something of the properties of Palm Oil', an allusion to Görgei's recent heavy defeat by Russian soldiers. A version of this paper appeared as Görgei 1849.
