 THE 



POETRY OF SCIENCE, 



OR, STUDIES OF THE 



PHYSICAL PHENOMENA OF NATURE. 



BY ROBERT HUNT, 



AUTHOR OF U PAXTIIEA," " RESEARCHES ON LIGHT," ETC. 



" How charming is Divine Philosophy ! 

 Xot harsh and crabbed, as dull fools suppose, 

 Bat musical as is Apollo's lute, 

 And a perpetual feast of nectar'd sweets. 

 Where no crude surfeit reigns." 



RE-PRINTED FROM THE SECOND LONDON REVISED EDITION. 



Notices of the London Press. 



"All the great forces of Nature gravitntion, heat, light, electricity, magnetism, and 

 affinity are successively treated of by Mr. Hunt, and their unity and dependence 

 illusuMted. It is this which will make his work popular, as it is not encumbered with 

 heavy details or specious pretensions of learning. * * A book well calculated to 

 promote a taste for the studies of nature. v Athenceum. 



" We know of no work upon science which is so well calculated to lift the mind 

 from the admiration of the wondrous works of creation to the belief in, and worship 

 of, a First Great Cause. * * One of the most readable epitomes of the present state 

 and progress of science we have yet perused." Morning Herald. 



' ; The design of Mr. Hunt's volume is striking and good. The subject is very ably 

 dealt with, and the object very well attained : it displays a fund of knowledge, and is 

 the work of an eloquent and earnest man.'' The Examiner.
