The Year-Book of Facts in Science and Art, exhibiting the most important discoveries and improvements of the past year, in mechanics and the useful arts, natural philosophy, electricity, chemistry, zoology, and botany, geology and geography, meteorology and astronomy. By John Timbs, editor of the 'Arcana of Science and Art,' in one neat volume; price $1.
"It contains a mine of information in matters of Science and Art."--_Saturday Gazette._
"There is a great deal of well-digested information in this volume, exhibiting the most important discoveries in the Sciences and Arts, during the past year. In looking over it, one is surprised at the progress making in these branches, and in order to keep up with the age, such a book as this is absolutely necessary."--_Evening Bulletin._
"Such a volume commends itself sufficiently to public favour by its title. The importance of possessing it is apparent at a glance, since the knowledge of a single one of these facts, or new discoveries in science and the useful arts, may very possibly be worth in cash to the buyer ten times the price of the book."--_Scott's Weekly._
"The 'Year-Book of Facts' is another of Mr. Hart's excellent publications. It is a reprint from the London edition, and exhibits the most important discoveries and improvements of the year 1851, in arts, sciences, and mechanics. It is just the volume to have handy to take up when a few spare moments present themselves, which might otherwise be unimproved."--_Boston Evening Gazette._
"The 'Year-Book of Facts' is a work of established character, and American readers will feel indebted to Mr. Hart for reproducing it in a convenient and handsome form, rendering it accessible to all purchasers on this side of the water."--_N. American._
