On Thursday, the 5th of January, 1854, will be published, price Twopence, the First of a Series of Works, entitled ORR'S CIRCLE OF THE SCIENCES; consisting of Short Treatises on the Fundamental Principles and Characteristic Features of Scientific and Practical Pursuits. With Numerous Illustrative Engravings on Wood.
MESSRS. W. S. ORR & CO. have to announce the Early Publication, in Weekly Numbers, of a Series of Short Treatises, which will include every useful and attractive section of human acquirement, whether scientific, practical, or descriptive; and which will be issued at a price so moderate as to place them within the reach of every member of the community.
Although every subject will be treated in a philosophic spirit, yet it will not be forgotten that the work is designed for popular use; and therefore the Editor and the various Contributors will endeavour to clothe the whole Series, and the Scientific Treatises especially, in simple language, so as to render them easy introductions to practical studies.
To carry the design into effect, assistance has been obtained from eminent scientific men: and the Editor has the satisfaction of announcing among the Contributors to the first year's volumes the names of Professor Owen, of the Royal College of Surgeons; Sir William Jardine, Bart.; Professors Ansted and Tennant, of King's College; the Rev. Walter Mitchell, of St. Bartholomew's Hospital; and Professor Young, Examiner in Mathematics at the University of London. Every confidence, therefore, may be placed in the publication, as regards its soundness of principle, its extent of information, and its accordance with the results of the latest researches and discoveries.
