BAILY'S SERIES OF WINNERS.— Under the 

 above title, Messrs. A. H. BAILY & Co have commenced 

 a Series of Portraits of the Derby, Oaks, and Leger Winners, 

 and of other Horses celebrated for their performances ; ror this 

 purpose they have engaged the talents of Mr. J. F. «*»«»™. 

 Sen , so well known as the celebrated Horse-painter. Ihe hke- 

 ncss'aud execution of each is acknowledged to be P^gta. 



The size of the Portraits is much larger, and as Works t Art 

 they are much superior to anything hitherto published. 



» ii is 72£w* ttolmfc if' li'be not the very best, of the por- 

 traits of race-horses ever painted. It is a perfect representation 

 of the celebrated and wonderful mare Bee's-wing, perhaps the 

 best that ever ran at Ascot, or indeed, omi WIJ 'Other coon*. 

 Mr Herring has given a characteristic portrait, full of identity 

 and life; the picfure, moreover, is full of pictorial merit as a 

 work of art: the lights are admirably managed, the very horse- 

 cloths, the litter, and the things which are to be seen i in racing 

 stables, are all introduced, and made subservient Jo general 

 effect. The print will be an excellent addition to portfolios and 

 the walls of the rooms of sporting men, and men of taste. — 



"She is taken'in her loose box, with her lively eye turned as 

 it were on the visitor, who may be presumed to have popped in 

 to fake a peep at the pride ot Northumbria. All the known 

 points of this model of a mare are accurately presented, and 

 her splendid rich bay delineated to perfection } her quarters are 

 accurately portrayed, and she is placed (that great difficulty j 

 naturally, and therefore gracefully, on her legs.' -Era.

 SCIENTIFIC LIBRARY 



FOR ME USK OF 



SCHOOLS, PRIVATE STUDENTS, ARTISTS, 



AND MECHANICS. 



It is the purpose of this Work to furnish a Series of Elementary 

 Treatises on Mathematical Science, adapted to the wants of the 

 public at large. To youth of cither sex at public and private 

 schools ; to persons whose education has been neglected, or 

 whose attention has not been directed in early life to such 

 studies ; and to Artists and Mechanics these little works will be 

 particularly suited. The principles of the various Sciences are 

 rendered as fartiliar and brought as near to our commonest 

 ideas as possible ; the demonstrations of proposition! are made 

 plain for the mind and brief for the memory; and the Elements 

 of each Science are reduced not only to their simplest but to 

 their shortest form.
