Top of pageA WEEKLY ILLUSTRATED JOURNAL OF SCIENCE
"To the solid ground Of Nature trusts the mind which builds for aye."
-- WORDSWORTH
'The objective which it is proposed to attain by this periodical may be broadly stated as follows. It is intended, First, to place before the general public the grand results of scientific work and scientific discovery; and to urge the claims of science to move to a more general recognition in education and in daily life.
'Secondly, to aid scientific men themselves, by giving early information of all advances made in any branch of natural knowledge throughout the world, and by affording them an opportunity of discussing the various scientific questions which arise from time to time.'
