Messrs. W. S. ORR and Co. have to announce the early publica-
tion, in Weekly Numbers, of a Series of Short Treatises, which will
Include every useful and attractive section of human acquirement,
whether scientific, practical, or descriptive; and which will be
Issued at a price so moderate as to place them within the reach of
every member of the community.
Although every subject will be treated in a philosophic spirit, yet
It will not be forgotten that the work is designed for popular use, and
therefore the Editor and the various Contributors will endeavour to
clothe the whole Series, and the Scientific Treatises especially, in
simple language, so as to render them easy introductions to practical
studies. _

To carry the design into effect, assistance has been obtained from
eminent scientific men; and the Editor has the satisfaction of an-
nouncinge among the contributors to the first year's volumes
names of Professor Owns, of the Royal College of surgeon:
WILLIAM JARDINE, Bart.; Professors ANsTED and TENNANT, of
King's College; the Rev. Wasvia Mumma., of St. Bartholomew's
Hospital; and Professor YOUNG, Examiner in Mathematic: at the
University of London. Every confidence, therefore,
its extent of
placed
in the publication, as regards its solindnes of principle,
'
information, and its accordance with the re snits of the latest re-
searches and discoveries.
