a Public Institution. 757 



It is proposed that each article exhibited should be accompanied 

 with a detailed account or description of it, properly illustrated by 

 correct drawings. The name of the maker and the place of his 

 abode will also be mentioned in this account, together with the 

 price at which he is willing to furnish the article to buyers. 



In order to carry into effect the second object of the Institution, 

 namely, TEACHING THE APPLICATION OF SCIENCE to the USEFUL 

 PURPOSES OF LIFE, a lecture-room will be fitted up for philosophical 

 lectures and experiments ; and a complete LABORATORY AND PHIL- 

 OSOPHICAL APPARATUS, with the necessary instruments, will be pro- 

 vided for making chemical and other philosophical experiments. 



In fitting up this lecture-room (which will never be used for any 

 other purpose than for giving lectures in Natural Philosophy and 

 Philosophical Chemistry), convenient places will be provided and re- 

 served for the subscribers ; and care will be taken to warm and light 

 the room properly, and provide for a sufficient supply of fresh air, 

 so as to render it comfortable and salubrious. 



In engaging lecturers for the Institution, care will be taken by 

 the managers to invite none but men of the first eminence in sci- 

 ence to officiate in that most important and most distinguished 

 situation ; and no subjects will ever be permitted to be discussed 

 at these lectures but such as are strictly scientifical, and immediately 

 connected with that particular branch of science publicly announced 

 as the subject of the lecture. The managers to be responsible for 

 the strict observance of this regulation. 



In case there should be places to spare in the lecture-room, per- 

 sons not subscribers will, on the recommendation of a subscriber, 

 and on paying a certain small sum to be determined by the mana- 

 gers, be permitted to attend the public lectures, or any one or more 

 of them. 



Among the various branches of science that will occasionally be 

 made the subjects of these public lectures may be reckoned the 

 following, viz. These lectures will treat: 



Of Heat, and its application to the various purposes of life. 



Of the Combustion of Inflammable Bodies, and the relative quantities 



of Heat producible by the different substances used as fuel. 

 Of the Management of Fire and the Economy of Fuel. 

 Of the Principles of the Warmth of Clothing. 

 Of the Effects of Heat and of Cold, and of hot and of cold winds, on 



the human body, in sickness and in health.
