THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF SCIENCE AND ARTS. 



CONDUCTED BY PROF. B. SILLIMAN AND SON. 



This Journal embraces in its plan, the entire circle of the 

 Physical Sciences, and their applications to the arts. It was be- 

 gun in July, 1818, and the thirty sixth volume is now in the 

 press. 



While it has prompted it has been sustained by original Amer- 

 ican efforts ; and being devoted to important national and uni- 

 versal interests, it is in that character known and accredited, both 

 at home and abroad. It has elicited many valuable researches 

 and discoveries; its miscellaneous department has presented a 

 great variety of topics of general interest ; and a large part of the 

 work is quite intelligible to the reading public. 



Avoiding local, personal, and party interests and prejudices, it 

 forgoes the support of popular feeling, and relies solely upon the 

 intelligent and the patriotic. 



The Foreign Journals, (many of them sent in exchange,) often 

 quote from its pages, which are in turn, enriched by theirs; and 

 it has thus become identified with the Science and Arts of the 

 present day. 



Terms. — For four quarterly numbers, of not less than 200 

 pages each, fully illustrated by plates, making, together, two an- 

 nual volumes, of at least 800 pages ; six dollars — in advance. 



The quarterly literary journals, escape the heavy expense in- 

 curred by this, for plates ; and as they enjoy, from obvious caus- 

 es, a far more extended circulation, they can be much better af- 

 forded at %B per annum than this at ^6. 



Complete sets, at a proper discount, are furnishe'd, to order, in 

 numbers or bound. Postage is to he paid on all orders and remit- 

 tances ; some postmasters are patrons of the Journal.
