UNIVERSITY EXTENSION MANUALS. 



The Series of University Extension Manuals, to be published by Mr. Murray, of Albemarle 

 Street, London, under the Editorship of Professor Knight, of the University of St. Andrews, 

 is primarily designed to aid the University Extension movement throughout the country, and 

 to supply the need so widely felt by students, of Text-books for study and reference, in con- 

 nection with the authorised Courses of Lectures. 



These Manuals will differ from those already in existence in that they are not intended for 

 School use, or for e.xamination purposes ; and that their aim is to educate, rather than to 

 inform. The enumeration of mere details will be avoided, except in so far as they illustrate the 

 working of general laws, and the development of principles ; while the historical evolution, 

 both of the literary and scientific subjects, will be kept in view, as well as their philosophical 

 significance. The class for whose use the Manuals are especially designed are those whosi> 

 education has been hitherto somewhat miscellaneous or fragmentarj^ and who are desirous of 

 pursuing systematic study in Literature, History, Science and Art. 



The remarkable success which has attended University Extension in England and Scotland 

 has been partly due to the combination of scientific treatment with popularity, and the union of 

 simplicity with thoroughness. The University Extension movement, however, can only reach 

 those resident in the larger centres of population, while all over the country there are thoughtful 

 persons who desire the same kind of teaching ; and it is for them, as well as for the Extension 

 Lecture students, that this series is designed. Its aim will be to supply to the public and to 

 the general reader, the same kind of teaching as is given in the Lectures, to reflect the spirit 

 which has characterised the movement, and to combine as the Lectures have done, the dis- 

 cussion of principles as well as of facts, and of methods along with results. 



The Manuals will be issued simultaneously in England and America. Volumes dealing with 

 separate sections of Literature, Science, Philosophy, History and Art have already been assigned 

 to representative literary men, to University Professors, or to Extension Lecturers connected 

 with Oxford, Cambridge, London, and the Universities of Scotland and Ireland.
