THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY

CONDUCTED BY

PROFESSOR E. L, YOUMANS.

PUBLISHED BY

D. APPLETON & COMPANY,

NEW YORK,

THE growing importance of scientific knowledge to all classes of the community calls for more efficient means of diffusing it. THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY has been started to promote this object, and supply a want met by no other periodical in the United States.

It contains instructive and attractive aticles, and abstracts of articles, original, selected and illustrated, from the leading scientific men of different countries, giving the latest interpretation of natural phenomena, explaining the application of science to the practical arts, and to the operations of domestic life.

It is designed to give especial prominence to those branches of science which help to a bet ter understanding of the nature of man; to present the claims of scientific education; and the bearings of science upon the questions of society and government. How the various subjects of current opinion are affected by the advance of scientific inquiry will also be considered.

In its literary character, this periodical aims to be popular, without being supercial, and ap peals to the intelligent reading classes of the community. It seeks to procure authentic statements from men who know their subjects, and who will address the non-scientific public for purposes of exposition and explanation.

It will have contributions from HERBERT SPENCER, Professor HUXLEY, Professor TYNDALL Mr. DARWIN, and other writers identified with speculative thought and scientific investigation. THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY is published in a large octavo, handsomely printed on clear type. Terms, Five Dollars per annum, or Fifty Cents per copy.
