THE CANADIAN JOURNAL. 



OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



The Canadian Journal. — We have to acknowledge the 

 receipt of the first number of the Canadian Journal, a record 

 of the proceeding's of the Canadian Institute, and devoted to 

 industry, science, and art in general. The typography is by our 

 neighbour. Mi-. Scobie, and does him infinite credit. The paper 

 also is capital, and everything about the woik has a highly 

 respectable appearance. The introductory ai-ticle is excellent, 

 containing very appropriate and just ideas, expi-essed in easy and 

 graceful style. Altogether, the work is exceedingly creditable to 

 its promoters, and we hope that it will meet with hearty sujiport 

 from the public. We I'ecommend an examination of the firet 

 number as the best inducement to subscribe to the work. — Olobe. 



Tub C anadian Journal. — We have received the first num- 

 ber of this periodical, published by Mr. Scobie, for the Council 

 of the Canadian Institute. It contains 24 pages, 4to., and is 

 neatly printed, on the best quality of paper. It is to appear 

 monthly. We are glad to record the appearance of a scientific 

 periodical like this in our own country, and judging fi'om the 

 specimen before us, the work will be conducted with ability. 

 The fii'st number contains a variety of interesting scientific articles, 

 both original and selecteil. — Christian Guardian. 



The Canadian Journal. — The August number of this valu- 

 able monthly publication has been leceived. From a perusal of 

 its well filled pages we note that it is a record of the progress of 

 Canadian Arts and Sciences and general industry ; and contains 

 information adajited to the wants of the scholar and practical 

 man. Nor will its usefulness be confined to this country, for in 

 its colunins we find copious gleanings from European Journals, 

 ti'eating of the kindred science in other lands. The Journal is 

 published for the Canadian Institute, by Mr. Scobie, of Toronto, 

 and furnished to non-subscribers of the ''Institute," at 15s. per 

 annum. — Barrie Herald. 



The Canadian Journal. — We have to acknowledge the 

 receipt of The Canadian Journal, a repertory of Industry, 

 Science and Ait, and a record of the proceedings of the Cana- 

 dian Institute, published by Hugh Scobie, Toronto. 



We have carefully looked over the number now before- us, and 

 we are bound to say, that it fully suppoi ts the highest aspirations 

 that might h!\\'e been formed by the friends of Canadian pro- 

 gress in the Arts and Sciences. It contaiiis many highly 

 interesting and e\'en I'aseiiiating essays, oiiginal and selectetl. 

 Those of the latter character have been chosen with great care, 

 while many of the former, arc not only cleverly written, but 

 contain many entertaining- and instructive suggestions. The 

 t/bwrna/ contains sevei'al very faiily executed wooil Eiigi'avings; 

 one of the Canalian Department of the Great Exhibition, and 

 several of useful imentioiis in Arts and Manufactures; and also 

 of J'armiiig' Implements. We trust the Canadian Journal will 

 be taken up with spirit, and leseive the patronage, not only of 

 men of hle/aiy an 1 scientific attainments, but also of the honest 

 Yeoman, who desi)es to economise his labour, and to render the 

 cultivatiiin of the earth a profitable pursuit; and of the Manu- 

 facturer and Art'zaii, -whose professional skill, will every month 

 receive fresh acciuisitio is in knowledge and the Arts, from this 

 valuable and interesting pnblication. 



We obsene that all remittances are to be forwarded to the 

 Treasurei- of thi! Canadian Institute: by the Council of which 

 body, the work is sent forth to the public— /'a/?'/o?. 



The Canadian Journal. — We have to acknowledge the 

 receipt from Mr. Scobie, the publisher of the second number of 

 " the Canadian Journal, a Repertory of Industry, Science and 

 Art; and a i-eoord of the proceedings of the Canadian Institute."" 

 As a specimen of Canadian typography it is one of the very best 

 we have ever seen, and the illustrations, with one exception, are 

 admirably executed. The contents seem, from the hasty glance 

 we have been enabled to give them, to be of a very superior kind. 

 We can only say, that it will be a high honour, indeed, to the 

 progress of the arts and sciences in Canada, if such a periodical 

 is properly sustained among us. In order that this result will bo 

 achie\-ed, "material aid" is necessary, and we recommend all of 

 our readers, who feel an intei'est and a just pride in the progress 

 of their countiy to support this publication, at the same time, we 

 may say a woi'il in faxour of the Canadian Institute, under whose 

 auspices the journal is being published. — Montreal Gazette. 



The Canadian Journal. — Toronto: Hugh Scobie. This is 

 published as a record of the pi'oceedings of the Canadian Insti- 

 tute, and is one of the best publications that has as vet proceeded 

 from the press in Upper Canada. It is beautifully printed anil 

 illustrated. — Mirror. 



The Canadian Journal. — Hugh Fcobie, Toronto. The 

 Canadian Journal, designed as a Repertory of Science, Industry 

 and Art, is a publication whose appearance we have looked for 

 with considerable interest, and so far our expectations have by 

 no means been disappointed. The number which has reached 

 us contains a \-ariety of original papers and general scientific 

 intelligence of the most valuable description. Agriculture, En- 

 gineering, Geology and Meteorology, each receives a veiy consi- 

 derable share of ie\iew ; and so far as talent of a high order is 

 necessary to the success of such a work, the original papers bear 

 sufficient testimony that the Journal bids fair for a jiermanent 

 place among the literary publications of the day. The superior 

 typographical appeai-ance of the Canadian Journal will tend 

 still fnither to enhance its merits. On such grounds we are able 

 cordially to wish it success. — Examiner. 



The Canadian Journal. — The first number of this Scientific 

 Monthly is now before us. To .the man of science this work 

 must be welcome, while within its pages the studious mechanic 

 and farmer will. find much to stimulate improvement — Brock- 

 ville Recorder.

 ally suppoi-ted. It is intended to issue monthly, and will bo 

 fiirnishelto subsciibers at 15s. a yeai- in adv;in- e. To members 

 of the Institute, the Journal will be transmitted whhout cha-ge.

The Canadian Journal. — We have from Toronto, under th'.s 

 iiame. a " Repertory of Inlustr}-, Sjieiice and Art, and a Record 

 of the proceedings of the Canadian Institute," which promises 

 to be well conducted. The Cana liau Institute, when first pro- 

 posed in 1 849, was to be composed mainly of survey irs, eni:iiiee:8, 

 and architects; but ultimately its professional chaiacter was 

 changed to one of geneial description, an 1 a nr/al charter of 

 incorporation was obtained in Novcmb r, 1851. — The Bui'.dcr,
