On Thursday, the sth of January, 1854, will be published, price
Twopence, the First of a Series of Works, entitled,
ORR'S CIRCLE OF THE SCIENCES ;
consisting of Short Treatises on the Fundamental Prin-
ciples and Characteristic Features of Scientific and Practical Pur-
suits. With numerous illustrative Engravings on Wood.
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-
nouncing among the contributors to the first year's volumes the
names of Professor Owes, of the Royal College of Surgeons ;
WILLIAM JARDINE, Bart. ; Professors ANSTED and TENNANT, of
.K.lng's College; the Rev. WALTER. MITCHELL, of St. Bartholomer
s
Hospital ; an Professor YOUNG, Examiner in Mathematics at h
e
University of London. Every confidence, therefore, may be placed
in the publication, as regardsits soundnesi of principle,
itsetent of
Information, and its accordance with the results of the latest re-
searches and discoveries.
During the first year either three or four volumes will be com-
pleted. The respective subjects will not be issued in consecutive
of each series weeks; but the paging will be continuous : so that the
whole, when collected at the end of the year, will form separate
Volumes, with T tle-pages,
Prefaces, Tables of Contents, Indices—
eacq Volume being a distinct work on NATURAL PHILOSOPHY, Oil the
Two GREAT DIVISIONS OF NATURAL HISTORY, and on the MATHE-
MATICAL SCIENCES.
Tne "CIRCLE OF THE SCIENCES" will thus, by the aid of copious
Analytical Indices, combine yll the advantages of an Encyelopmdia,
as a work of reference, without the irksome repetition which alpha-
betical arrangements necessarily involve.
On the Ist of December an Introductory Treatiee, "ON THE
NATURE, CONNECTION, AND USES OF THE GREAT DE-
PARTMENTS OF HUMAN KNOWLEDGE" was issued; and
the publication of the Work itself will commence in January, 1854.
**At " ORR'S CIRCLE OF TUE SCIENCES" can be supplied by
every Bookseller in the Kingdom, of whom a detailed Prospectus,
containing Specimen Page and List of Subjects, may be had.
