SCIENCE AND THE ARTS, by the Rev. Alonzo 



Potter, D. D., Professor of Moral Philosophy and Rhetoric, 

 in Union College, Schenectady, JV. Y. 



The design of this Work is to call attention to the fact that the Arts 

 are the result of intelligence — that they have, each one its principles 

 or theory — that these principles are furnished by Science, and that he, 

 therefore, who would understand the Arts, must know something of 

 Science ; while, on the other hand, he who would see the true power 

 and worth of Science ought to study it in its applications. The work 

 will be made up o£ facts, illustrating and enforcing these views — so ar- 

 ranged as to exhibit the invariable connexion between processes in Art, 

 and laws in JVature. The importance of such a work requires no 

 comment.
