Conducted by E. L. YOUMANS.
This periodical was started (in 1872) to promote the diffusion of
valuable scientific knowledge, in a readable and attractive form,
among all classes of the community, and has thus far met a want
supplied by no other magazine in the United States.
Containing instructive and interesting articles and abstracts of
articles, original, selected, translated, and illustrated, from the
pens of the leading scientific men of different countries; accounts of
important scientific discoveries, the application of science to the
practical arts, and the latest views put forth concerning natural
phenomena, have been given by _savants_ of the highest authority.
Prominent attention has been also devoted to those various sciences
which help to a better understanding of the nature of man, to the
bearings of science upon the questions of society and government, to
scientific education, and to the conflicts which spring from the
progressive nature of scientific knowledge.
THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY is published monthly in a large octavo,
handsomely printed on clear type, and, when the subjects admit, fully
illustrated.
TERMS: $5.00 per annum, or Fifty Cents per Number. Postage prepaid to
all Subscribers in the United States.
