NATURE: 



AN ILLUSTRATED JOURNAL OF SCIENCE. 



NATURE expounds in a popular and yet authentic 

 manner, the GRAND RESULTS OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH, 

 discussing the most recent scientific discoveries, and 

 pointing out the bearing of Science upon civilisation 

 and progress, and its claims to a more general recog- 

 nition, as well as to a higher place in the educational 

 system of the country. 



It contains original articles on all subjects within the 

 domain of Science ; Reviews setting forth the nature and 

 value of recent Scientific Works ; Correspondence 

 Columns, forming a medium of Scientific discussion and 

 of intercommunication among the most distinguished 

 men of Science ; Serial Columns, giving the gist of the 

 most important papers appearing in Scientific Journals, 

 both Home and Foreign; Transactions of the prin- 

 cipal Scientific Societies and Academies of the World, 

 Notes, &c. 



In Schools where Science is included in the regular 

 course of studies, this paper will be most acceptable, as 

 it tells what is doing in Science all over the world, is 

 popular without lowering the standard of Science, and by 

 it a vast amount of information is brought within a small 

 compass, and students are directed to the best sources 

 for what they need. The various questions connected 

 with Science teaching in schools are also fully discussed, 

 and the best methods of teaching are indicated.
