GALMAITH & HAITGHTON'S 



SCIENTIFIC MANUALS, 





Experimental and Natural Science Series. 



* 



T^ACH volume of this Series will contain a condem 

 "■^ exposition of the department of science of which it treat 

 prepared in accordance with the present condition of our kno\ 

 ledge, and illustrated with a suitable number of careful 

 executed woodcuts. 



The Authors hope, by bestowing the utmost care in t 

 selection and disposition of their materials, and by the ado 

 tion of a simple yet strictly scientific style, to produce a Seri 

 of Elementary Works calculated to impress the mind 

 reader with clear ideas of the general principles of the natur, 

 and experimental sciences. 



The subject-matter of these Manuals will be so arranged \ 

 to render them suitable for students of various degrees of pr< 

 ficiency. For purposes of self-instruction they will, it 

 hoped, be found well adapted, whilst they can scarcely fa 

 to prove suggestive in the hands of any competent teacher.
