This work is intended to supply the place o
larger and more costly works of similar class
Itwas evidently an undertaking Of much difficulty
from the extent of the field 10 be embraced by it
the whole compass of human knowlcdge-and the
= judgement required to preserve in each article
the material points, without occupying more space
than was consistent with the general design. al
This ha, been accomplished, however, in the mos
satisfactory manner, through the ability of Dr.
Brande and his learned coadiuters. Though ne
cessary concise, the treatment of each subject Ii
sufficiently full 10 interest the reader and to convey
to his mind clear understanding of the most es
sental facts connected with it. 1t is an exceed
ingly important and valuable work. therefore, botE
on account of the accuracy and vast amount of in
formation which it contains, and its cheapness
which brings it within the means of all. Although
published in England at G3, the Messrs. Harpers
we perceive publish it at THREE DOLLARS, IL
half-monthy numbers, tooenty.6Ue cents per nam
bcr. We recommend all to buy it, therefore, who
would have a most convenient and trustworthy
baDk of ref,rence
