CABINET OF NATURAL HISTORY-17 VoLs.
This day was published, in small Bvo., 6s. cloth,
PRELIMINARY DISCOURSE ON THE
STUDY OF NATURAL HISTORY.
By WILLIAM SWAINSON, Esq.
The plan of the Cabinet of Natural History, and the style of its
execution, will be in strict accordance with the principles laid down
in the original prospectus of Dr. Lardner's Cyclopedia. The ob-
ject of the Editor and his associates will be, as there stated, "to
present the science in a form which shall be universally intelligible ;
to render it attractive to the general reader, yet at the same time to
inculcate sound principles ; and by transfusing through the whole
work a philosophic spirit, not only to stimulate the diffusion of
knowledge, but to raise the tone of the public mind, and to awaken
a taste for the contemplation of the works of nature."
To Zoology will be devoted about fourteen volumes ; this part of
the work has been prepared by Mr. Swainson.
A volume will be devoted to Botany ; one to Mineralogy, which
is in preparation by Mr. Levi;• and another to Geology, which has
been undertaken by the Rev. W. D. Conybeare.
The whole series will be copiously illustrated and embellished by
woodcuts engraved by Branston, from original drawings, prepared
by the authors themselves and by Mr. T. Landseer, such drawings
being almost invariably made from nature.
The whole work being nearly all written, will be published
at short intervals in Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopmdia.
