MOSELEY. -THE MECHANICAL PRINCIPLES OF ENGI- 



NE BRING AND ARCHITECTURE. By the Rev. H. MOSELEY, M.A. F.R.S., Professor of

 of Mechanics," &c. 1 vol. 8vo. with Woodcuts and Diagrams, 24s. cloth. 



' This volume includes the substance of a course of lectures delivered to the students of King's College, in the 



partments of engineering and architecture, during the present and two preceding years (1840-42). The first pa ' 



treats of statics, so far as that science applies to the subject; the second of dynamics; the third of the theory 

 machines ; the fourth of the theory of the stability of structures ; the fifth of the strength of materials ; and the 

 sixth and last of ' impact." We have merely noted the divisions of this body of mathematical science for the informa- 

 tion of those to whom the high reputation of Professor Moseley will be a sufficient warranty." SPECTATOR.

" It is sufficient to announce a work on the comparative anatomy of the Invertebrata by Mr. Owen. "Were it 

 necessary to recommend it, we should say, that the desideratum it supplies has been long felt by students of natural 

 history ; and that no writer of the present day except Mr. Owen could have ventured to approach the subject : his 

 enlightened researches having made the delightful department of science in which he has created his brilliant repu- 

 tation legitimately his own; and, indeed, organised into a system an interesting branch of knowledge in which he 

 found only a few scattered and imperfectly known facts." MEDICAL GAZETTE.
