" 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 Breiuster in the North British Review. 



"The whole work, bound in six double volumes, costs but the price of 

 a Keepsake; and 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,
