Présentation de l'éditeur
Students as may attend Lectures in the Universities, at the Royal I nstitution, or elsewhere; and also to enable theM asters of privateS eminaries, with a very moderate A pparatus, occasionally to indulge their pupils with a practical Course of Lectures on one or all of the important branches of Experimental Philosophy, A stronomy, and Chemistry. Having published some years ago The Economy of Nature the author thinks it necessary to state, that both the plan and arrangement of that work are essentially different from those of the present. The Economy of Nature does not contain A stronomy, nor, in fact, Chemistry, as a distinct science; on the other hand, a very large portion of that work is occupied with Mineralogy and Physiology, which in this are purposely omitted. Even the subjects which are common to both will be found to be differently treated in these Lectures. February 20, 1808.
