"This series, besides affording popular but sound instruction
on scientific subjects, with which the humblest man in the
country ought to be acquainted, also undertakes that teaching
of 'Common Things' which every well-wisher of his kind is
anxious to promote. Many thousand copies of this serviceable
publication have been printed, in the belief and hope that the
desire for instruction and improvement widely prevails; and
we have no fear that such enlightened faith will meet with
disappointment."--_Times._
"A cheap and interesting publication, alike informing and
attractive. The papers combine subjects of importance and great
scientific knowledge, considerable inductive powers, and a
popular style of treatment."--_Spectator._
"The 'Museum of Science and Art' is the most valuable
contribution that has ever been made to the Scientific
Instruction of every class of society."--Sir DAVID BREWSTER, in
the _North British Review_.
"Whether we consider the liberality and beauty of the
illustrations, the charm of the writing, or the durable interest
of the matter, we must express our belief that there is hardly to
be found among the new books one that would be welcomed by people
of so many ages and classes as a valuable present."--_Examiner._

EXTRACT FROM PUBLISHERS' ADVERTISEMENT.
"A treatise that made its original appearance in the first
decade of the century, and that enters upon its Thirteenth
Edition before the century has run its course, has undoubtedly
established its position as a work of permanent value.... The
phenomenal progress of the last dozen years in the Practice and
Science of Farming has rendered it necessary, however, that
the volume should be re-written, ... and for this undertaking
the publishers were fortunate enough to secure the services of
Dr. FREAM, whose high attainments in all matters pertaining to
agriculture have been so emphatically recognised by the highest
professional and official authorities. In carrying out his
editorial duties, Dr. FREAM has been favoured with valuable
contributions by Prof. J. WORTLEY AXE, Mr. E. BROWN, Dr. BERNARD
DYER, Mr. W. J. MALDEN, Mr. R. H. REW, Prof. SHELDON, Mr. J.
SINCLAIR, Mr. SANDERS SPENCER, and others.
"As regards the illustrations of the work, no pains have been
spared to make them as representative and characteristic as
possible, so as to be practically useful to the Farmer and
Grazier."

==> _The object of this work is to enable those who consult it
to help themselves to the law; and thereby to dispense, as far
as possible, with professional assistance and advice. There are
many wrongs and grievances which persons submit to from time to
time through not knowing how or where to apply for redress; and
many persons have as great a dread of a lawyer's office as of a
lion's den. With this book at hand it is believed that many a_
SIX-AND-EIGHTPENCE _may be saved; many a wrong redressed; many
a right reclaimed; many a law suit avoided; and many an evil
abated. The work has established itself as the standard legal
adviser of all classes, and has also made a reputation for itself
as a useful book of reference for lawyers residing at a distance
from law libraries, who are glad to have at hand a work embodying
recent decisions and enactments._
