Excerpt from The Year-Book of Facts in Science and Art for 1874The first volume of this work was produced in 1839. It was intended to display a faithful record of such results of Scientific enquiry during the past twelve months, as bear upon the Arts of Life and Society, and tend to the advancement of Useful Knowledge, and the great success which the book immediately achieved, proved that it supplied a public want.The greatly increasing interest taken in the progress of Science by all classes of Society, has induced the proprietors of the Year Book of Facts to issue the present volume in a modified form, and at a reduced price.The general character of the work is as yet but slightly altered. I hope, in future years, by judicious changes, to render it still more worthy of its established reputation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
