THUK 



AMERICAN SCIENCE SERIES 



FOE HIGH SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES. 



Tlie principal objects of this series are to supply the lack — 

 in some subjects very great — of authoritative boolis whose 

 principles are, so far as practicable, illustrated by familiar 

 American facts, and also to supply the other lack that the ad- 

 vance of Science perennially creates, of text-books which at 

 least do not contradict the latest generalizations. 



The volumes are large 12mo. 



The books arranged for are as follows. They systematically 

 outline the field of Science, as the term is usually employed 

 with reference to general education. Those marked * had 

 been published up to Nov. 35, 1879.
