Publication to Commence in December, 1856. 



PICTOKIAL ILLUSTRATIONS 



SCIENCE AND ART. 



WITH EXPLANATORY NOTES. 



A COLLECTION OF LARGE PRINTED SHEETS, EACH APPROPRIATED 



TO A PARTICULAR SUBJECT, AND CONTAINING FROM 



50 TO 100 ENGRAVED FIGURES. 



rpHE purpose of the Editor is to place at the disposition of teachers a 

 new and powerful means of oral instruction, by putting at one view 

 before the pupil visible representations of the principal objects, 

 phenomena, and processes comprised in each of the subjects to which 

 these sheets are appropriated. The explanatory notes given upon the 

 sheets, though necessarily brief, will be sufficient to remind the teacher 

 of the points most necessary to be impressed on the memory of the 

 pupil, and references will be given to the Text-books where he may 

 find such further developments as he may think necessary. 



It will, in some cases, be found convenient to have the sheet3 pasted 

 on card-boards, to be suspended before a class. 



It is not without practical experience of its efficacy that the Editor 

 offers this means of instruction in numerous departments of useful 

 knowledge, having already tested its utility in the case of his own 

 children.

 following :
