JUDGES.— The Judges have the power of increasing or 

 diminishing the number and value of the Silver Medals offered 

 by the Society for particular objects, and also of conferring 

 Silver Medals or Certificates in cases not contemplated in these 

 regulations, if they think it necessary to do so. 



The Judges are aho required to bear in mind that the Society's 

 Medals are offered less for new and curious objects than for fine 

 specimens of Horticultural skill, the design of the Council in 

 instituting these meetings being not so much to encourage the 

 Collector as to reward the skilrul Gardener. They are also not 

 to make any award in cases where the objects exhibited do not 

 appear worthy of a Medal ; otherwise a bad single exhibition 

 might obtain a prize, merely because there is no better exhi- 

 bition of the same class to oppose it.

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 th 

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

 schools; to persons whose education has been neglected or 

 whose attention has not been directed in early life to sack 

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

 particularly suited. The principles of the various Sciences are 

 rendered as familiar and brought as near to our commonest 

 ideas as possible ; the demonstrations of propositions arc made 

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

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

 their shortest form.
