Présentation de l'éditeur
MaM aMBi Ma BW i# A mongst the important results of the recent attempts to extendS cience to the labouring classes, maybe ranked the elementary treatises published by Baron Dupin. Possessing an extraordinary fund of scientific information, as well as of practical knowledge collected during a period of twenty years, in the workshops and manufacturing establishments of the most enlightened nations of Europe, combined with a singular degree of clearness, elegance, and ingenuity, in mathematical and physical expositions, this distinguished individual might have continued to delight and instruct inquirers of the highest description, by works classical and profound, but without having witnessed the occurrences alluded to, he might never have directed his attention and his eflfbrts to this most interesting object, the improvement of humble arid neglected intellect. The value of this new species of instruction, as Dupin has correctly termed it, was felt by him on his first visit toG lasgow, where it then alone prevailed.
