"The 'Museum of Science and Art' is the most valuable contribution that has 

 ever been made to the Scientific Instruction of every class of society." Sir David 

 Bre^Mster in tJte North British Review. 



"Whether we consider the liberality and beauty of the illustrations, the charm of 

 the writing, or the durable interest of the matter, we must express our belief that 

 there is hardly to be found among the new books, one that would be welcomed by 

 people of so many ages and classes as a valuable present." Examiner.
