Q. BIBLIOGRAPHY. 



SELECT WORKS ON SCIENCE PUBLISHED DURING 1874. 



The following classified catalogue is a partial exhibit of 

 the principal scientific works published during the year 1874, 

 especially in the United States. The difficulties attendant 

 upon the preparation of such a bibliography can only be 

 appreciated by those who have attempted similar tasks, 

 the titles given in dealers' catalogues being often inexact. 

 Whenever the original work could be consulted, it has been 

 done; in many cases, however, the volumes could not be 

 obtained in season, and a number of titles have therefore 

 been copied, the resolve to issue the list having been de^ 

 termined upon too late to confirm all. Hereafter, however, 

 no works will be included in this list which have not been 

 examined, and it is proposed to give in connection with at 

 least some of the volumes judgments respecting their value 

 from competent sources, in order that readers may have 

 some criterion for selection.
