BRANDE'S DICTIONARY OF SCIENCE, LITERATURE, &C.
A Dictionary of Science, Literature, and Art; comprising
the History, Description, and Scientific Principles of
every Branch of Human Knowledge; with numerous Engravings.
By W. T. Brande, F.R.S., assisted by several
of the most eminent writers of the age. 8vo. Shp. $4 00.
Clear and authentic, copious without prolixity, it furnishes an explanation
of facts and terms, and a development of principles, well illustrated
and explained.—London Times.
An admirable work, supplying what all scientific and literary men must
have long felt to be a esideratum in our literature. He who has no encyclopædia
will find it an excellent substitute for one; and he who has,
will find it a valuable supplement.—Eclectic Review.
