 The compiler therefore is obliged to ask the indulgence of 

 readers for any shortcomings in the enumerations of the 

 volumes recorded. 



All the scientific works sent to the editor of the Record 

 have been, and will hereafter be enumerated, whether special- 

 ly noticed in the journals in question or not. The responses 

 to the invitation for the transmission of copies to the editor 

 for notice have been numerous, but many important publica- 

 tions have been withheld. In the interest of accuracy and 

 completeness of enumeration, the editor renews his request 

 for copies of new works for notice in future numbers of the 

 Record? s Bibliography. 



For the notices of books, those journals have been referred 

 to which are most generally accessible to ordinary readers 

 on account of the nature of their circulation. They are : 



(1.) The Academy: a Record of Literature, Science, and 

 Art. London. (Weekly.)

 Youmans. (Published monthly, at $5 per annum.)
