15. New Scientific Journals. 



1. The Microscopic Journal^ edited by Daniel Cooper, Esq. Lon- 

 don : J. Van Voorst. — This Journal came into existence about the same 

 time as the Microscopical Society, and it is, as has been stated in 

 our notice of that society, its authorized organ of communicating the 

 proceedings and abstracts of its papers to the scientific world. It 

 also contains many original and valuable articles from other sources. 

 It is published monthly, and nineteen numbers have already ap- 

 peared. 



2. The Geologist. By Charles Moxon, Esq. H. Bailliere, pub- 

 lisher, 219 Regent St. London. (Monthly.) — We have not seen this 

 journal ; but suppose it to be, as its name implies, wholly devoted to 

 geology. It was commenced on the 1st of January, 1842. 



3. The Chemist, or Reporter of chemical discoveries, Sfc. By Chas. 

 Watt and J. Watt, Jr. London : R. Hastings, 13 Cacey St. — This 

 journal is also monthly, and has been in existence about two years ; 

 the second volume is completed. Not having examined the work, 

 we cannot speak of its value. 



4. Under the same head, we may properly notice a change which 

 has recently been efl!ected in the editorship of our esteemed contempo- 

 rary and fellow laborer in the general cause. The Journal of the Frank- 

 lin Institute ; whereby the American Repertory of Arts, formerly con- 

 ducted by Prof. Mapes, in New York, has been transferred, with its 

 editor and subscription list, to the Institute Journal, thus combining the 

 talent of the two works. This change must be attended with valuable 

 results to the energy of the old work, and raise its already high repu- 

 tation. The two hundred and first number of this work is now 

 published. 



5. The Cambridge Miscellany of Mathematics, Physics, and Astron- 

 omy. Quarterly. Edited by B. Peirce, A. M., Prof, of Math, and Nat. 

 Phil, in Harvard University. Boston. Nos. 1 and 2. — This journal is 

 devoted principally to the solution of mathematical questions, proposed 

 either by the editor or his correspondents. It has, however, a chapter 

 devoted to general physical science, in which interesting papers have 

 been published by Prof Lovering, the Editor, and other contributors. 

 Each number contains forty eight pages, — it was commenced in April 

 of the present year. 



6. Memoirs and Proceedings of tlie Chemical Society. Parts 1 and 2. 

 London. — This is the organ of the London Chemical Society, and is 

 published at irregular intervals, as the papers of the Society require. 



The labors of this society have been already of so important a char- 

 acter, that chemists will, without our advice, keep track of its doings.
