Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Lectures, intended as a commencement of discourses on several branches of natural history and the sciences, have been published for those kind friends of both sexes, who, having done the author the honour of being present at their delivery, may be desirous of refreshing their memories by a printed recapitulation; and for the perusal of such general readers, as may take an interest in the subjects, upon which he has proposed to treat. To the man of science, he has little new to offer. The latter will be fully aware that most of the knowledge we at present possess, must be derived from the collective information of those who have published before us; and that where the more striking features of any particular science only, are to be detailed, however the language may, by different writers he varied, the matter to be correct, ought in most instances lobe the same. He therefore will readily discriminate between what portion of the following work is derived from other sources, what share of it the author can honestly claim for himself; and upon a fiat so obtained, he will rest satisfied.
