THE POPULAR SCIENCE
MONTHLY.
Establihed May 1872.
CONDUCTED BY z. L. YoUMANs

The Popular Science Monthly was start
ed to promote the diffusion of valuable
scientific knowledge, IN a readable and
attractive form, among all classes of the
community, and has thus far met a want
supplied by no other periodical IN the
Uuited States.
The great feature of the magazine is,
that its contents are not what science
Uas ten or more years since, but what II
is to-day, fresh from the study, the la
boratory, and the experiment: clothed IN
the language of the authors, inventors,
and scientists themselves, which com
prise the leading minds of England,
| France, Germany, and the United States.
| Among popular articles, covering the
whole range of Natural Science, we have
the latest thoughts and words of Herbert
| Spencer, and Professors Huxley, Tyndall.
and r. A. Proctor. Since the start, it has
proved a gratifying success to every
friend of scientific progress and univer.
sal education; and those who believed
that science could not be made anything
but dry study, are disappointed.
The press all over the land IS warmly
commencing it. We subjoin a few cnco-
miums from those recently given:
