THE POPULAR SCIENCE EEVIEW. 



A QUARTERLY MISCELLANY 



Of Entertaining & Instructive Articles on Scientific Subjects 



EDITED BY HENRY LAWSON. M.D., 



Co.Lecturer on Physiology and Histology, St. Mary's Hospital Medical School; and 



one of the Lecturers on Natural Science under the " Science and Art Department 



of the Committee of Council on Education." 



The Popur,AR Scexce Review is, as its name implies, a Review conveying 

 scientific knowledge in such a simple and popular form, tliat all who read may 

 understand. There is at the present day a numerous and increasing class of 

 intelligent readers who, without being scientific, are nevertheless greatly inter- 

 ested m scientific progress. They would %villingly become acquainted with 

 scientific truths, but are too often deterred from the pursuit of such studies by 

 the abstruse or technical language in which these truths are conveyed. 



In order to meet the requirements of this portion of the community, every 

 available means has been adopted to procure the most accurate information on 

 all subjects of which the journal treats. No pains or expense has been spared to 

 secure the most skilful artists to illustrate its pages. 



Each number contains systematic, instructive articles (illustrated when 

 needful) on subjects connected with some ot the following sciences, viz. 



Astronomy, Geography, 



Botany, Geology, 



Chemistry, Metallurgy, 



Ethnology, Microscopy, t^,. «».., aim 



Science applied to the Arts, Manufactures, Commerce, and Agriculture.
