PROSPECTUS

INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC SERIES. 



D. APPLETOX & CO. have the pleasure of announcing that they have made 

 arrangements for publishing, and will shortly commence the issue of, a Seeies of 

 Populae Monogbaphs, or small works, under the above title, which will embody the 

 results of recent inquiry in the most interesting departments of advancing science. 



The character and scope of this series will be best indicated by a reference to the 

 names and subjects included in the subjoined list, from which it will be seen that the 

 cooperation of the most distinguished professors in England, Germany, Erance, and the 

 United States, has been secured, and negotiations are pending for contributions from 

 other eminent scientific writers. 



The works will be issued simultaneously in New York, London, Paris, and Leipsic.

 soon ; several others are nearly ready.
