NOVELTIES OF FOREIGN LITERATURE. 



BULLETIN UNIVERSEL. 



THE most gigantic attempt at a 

 complete and universal Journal 

 of Literature, &c. has lately been made 

 at Paris iu a monthly volume, called 

 the " Eullctin Universel des Sciences 

 ct de riudusfrie ; Continuation dti 



Bulletin General et Universel des 

 Annonces et cle Nouvelles Scientifi- 

 qucs; dedi6 aux Savans de tous les 

 Pays et k la Librairie Nationale et 

 Etrangere : Public sous la direction de 

 M. le Earbn de Ferussac." 



The object of this publication is to his ohject is, by disseminating rapidly 

 furnish to mathematicians, natural and in all quarters, a knowledge of facts, 

 experimental philosophers, chemists, of processes, and of machinery, which 



geologists, naturalists, medical men, 

 agriculturists, manufacturers, engi- 

 neers, historians, philologists, military 

 men; in" short to every savan, a sub- 

 stantial analysis of all the works, and 

 a complete epitome of all the acade- 

 mical memoirs and periodical coUec 



interest men of science, and the great- 

 est number of the social profession.^, 

 to contribute to the progress of the 

 sciences, and at the same time to faci- 

 litate their numerous and important 

 applications. 



It promises to become the most 



tions published in every part of the complete and instructive register for 

 civilized world ; to form a mctliodical the history of the progress of the hu- 



repertory of all the facts connected 

 ■with the branches of science to which 

 they are attached ; and a monthly view 

 of the successive ellorts of the human 

 mind in every nation. 



The editor flatters himself with thus 

 being able to establish between the 

 cultivators 'of the'scicnces and useful 

 arts in all countries, an active and 



man mind. It is an enterprise calcu- 

 lated to meet the wants of the age; 

 for if it be true, that in the course of 

 inquiry the ignorance of facts is the 

 greatest obstacle to discovery, it is 

 certain that, at an epoch when the 

 sciences are cultivated so assiduously, 

 from New Holland to the banks of the 

 Ohio, a common channel of habitual 



I'cgular correspondence, to create for communication becomes a real want, 



them a prompt and uncxpensivc me- and the plan of this Bulletin is the 



tliod of giving publicity to their la- only one whose execution presents the 



bours, and to secure for their disco- possiliility of establishing those coai- 



Vcries (whatever may be their opi- mnnications.
