THE
SEMITIC AMERICAN.
FOR 1864

The publishers of the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN
respectively give notice that the Tenth Volume
New SeriesI will commence on the first Of January
next. This journal was established in 1915, aud IS
undoubtedly the most widely circulated and inhuen-
tial publication of the kind in Ithe world. In COM
mencing the new volume the publishers desire to
call special attention to its claims as
JOURNAL OF POPULAR SCIENCE.
In this respect it stands unrivalled. 1t not only
finds its way 20 almost every workshop in the
country, as the earnest friend Of the mechanic and
aFtizen, but it is found in the eOunting-rOOm Of the
manufacturer and the merchant; also in the library
and the hOsehOld. The publish eTs feel warranted
in saying that no other journal now published con-
tains an equal amount of useful information; while
it is their aim to present all subjects in the most
popular and attractive manner.
The Semitic American is published once a week,
in convenient form for binding, and each number
contains sixteen pages eff useful reading matter,
illustrated with
NUMEROUS sPENDID ENGRAvINGS
of all the latest and best inventions of the day
This feature Of the journal is worthy of special note.
Every number contains from five to ten original en-
Cravings of mechanical inventions relating to every
DEPARTMENT of the arts. These engravingS are exc
euoed by artists specially employed on the paper
and are universally acknowledged to be superior to
anything Of the kind produced in this country.
The publishers of the Semitic American promise
to present, as during preceding years, all the latest
Improvements in Steam Engineering, War Vessels

ments, Flying Maehipes, and other Curious lnven-
tiOns-besides all the varied articles designed to
tighten the labor Of mankind, not only in the shop
and warehouse, but in every place where the in
dustries Of life are pursued.
From its commencement. the Scientific American
has been the earnest advocate of the rights Of
American Inventors, and the.
REPERTORY OF AMERICAN PATENTS.

ted with all the great interests Of the country, 10
