discoveries and improvements of the past year, in mechanics and the
useful arts, natural philosophy, electricity, chemistry, zoology, and
botany, geology and geography, meteorology and astronomy. By John Timbs,
editor of the 'Arcana of Science and Art,' in one neat volume; price $1.
"It contains a mine of information in matters of Science and
Art."--_Saturday Gazette._
"There is a great deal of well-digested information in this volume,
exhibiting the most important discoveries in the Sciences and Arts,
during the past year. In looking over it, one is surprised at the
progress making in these branches, and in order to keep up with the age,
such a book as this is absolutely necessary."--_Evening Bulletin._
"Such a volume commends itself sufficiently to public favour by its
title. The importance of possessing it is apparent at a glance, since
the knowledge of a single one of these facts, or new discoveries in
science and the useful arts, may very possibly be worth in cash to the
buyer ten times the price of the book."--_Scott's Weekly._
"The 'Year-Book of Facts' is another of Mr. Hart's excellent
publications. It is a reprint from the London edition, and exhibits the
most important discoveries and improvements of the year 1851, in arts,
sciences, and mechanics. It is just the volume to have handy to take up
when a few spare moments present themselves, which might otherwise be
unimproved."--_Boston Evening Gazette._
"The 'Year-Book of Facts' is a work of established character, and
American readers will feel indebted to Mr. Hart for reproducing it in a
convenient and handsome form, rendering it accessible to all purchasers
on this side of the water."--_N. American._
