MANIPULATIONS IN THE SCIENTIFIC ARTS. The following are already published. PARTS I. & II. ELECTROTYPE MANIPULATION, By Mr. C. V. WALKER, EDITOR OF THE ELECTRICAL MAGAZINE. Part I. contains, — The Theory of Electro -Chemical decompo- sition, — full instructions for depositing Copper from its solu- tions, — description of the construction and management of the necessary Apparatus, — the art of Mould-making, with the recent improvements, — Bronzing and Mounting the finished Specimens. The most minute instructions are given in every stage of the Process ; and the causes of failure, and their reme- dies are so clearly pointed out as to enable even the least expe- rienced in Experimental Philosophy to practise with success this beautiful and interesting Art. Part II. contains, — All the necessary instructions for Plating and Gilding, or the depositing of Silver and Gold ; with minute descriptions of the preparation of the solutions best fitted for the purpose ; — Electro -etching, & c. &c. : — abstracts of the various patents that have been granted for the application of Electrotype to the Arts : — the whole forming a complete miniature manual of the subject on which it treats. *** These Two Parts may be had done up in cloth boards, Price 2s. 6d. u To those who are desirous of obtaining a thorough knowledge of the subjects treated of in this little work, with as little cost as possible, it will be hailed as a boon. * * Our remarks on Part I. apply with equal, if not greater force to Part II., and we recom- mend both to the perusal of such of our readers as may be desirous of becoming conversant with the beautiful art of Electrotype.’ ’ — Chemist. “ This little manual contains a most complete account of the whole process of Electrotype Manipulation. We have seldom, indeed, met with a work professing to give instruction in the manipulation of any art or process of manufacture so practically useful as this small volume.” — Civil Engineer and Architect 7 s Journal . 13 PARTS III. & IV. PHOTOGENIC MANIPULATION: By ROBERT J. BINGHAM, Chemical Assistant in the Laboratory of the London Institution. Part III. contains, — The History of Photography, Dr. Ritter’s Experiments, Actinism, Heliography, discovery of the Caio- type, Fluorotype, Ferrotype or Energiatype, Chromatype, Chrysotype, Cyanotype, Catalissotype, and Anthotype, full and explicit instruction for practising each, with description of the necessary apparatus. Part IV. contains, — Full instructions for practising the Daguerreo - type, or the art of taking impressions or pictures on silver plates ; ample instructions are given as to the selection and polishing the Plates, and the whole of the apparatus required fully described. *** These Two Parts may be had done up in cloth boards, Price 2s, 6 d.

NEW AND GREATLY ENLARGED EDITION OF LECTURES ON ELECTRICITY, COMPRISING GALVANISM, MAGNETISM, ELECTRO-MAGNETISM, MAGNETO- AND THERMO-ELECTRICITY. By HENRY M. NOAD, AUTHOR OF “ LECTURES ON CHEMISTRY, ” ETC. ETC. u In these Lectures, Mr. Noad traces the progress of electrical science, from its earliest development to its latest discoveries, in a clear and comprehensive manner ; — it supplies, and that very efficiently, a vacuity that has for some time existed in scientific literature. ’ ’ — A rtisan. u This is a very great improvement upon the former edition. Mr. Noad has made the best use of his time, and he now gives to the public a volume which is really a valuable compilation of the principal researches in electricity.’ ’ — Literary Gazette . “ This work embraces every branch of science identified with electrical phenomena We know of no other volume to which an inquirer can refer, for the best and latest information, with so much certainty of finding it.” — Mechanics' Magazine. “ A work much called for by the progress which has been made during the last few years in this interesting science. The author sets out with an historical sketch of electricity, and then proceeds to give a detail of the phenomena, which are experi- mentally evolved. We have seldom risen from the perusal of any work of science with more satisfaction.” — Polytechnic Magazine , edited by Dr. Stone. “ These Lectures proceed through all the gradations of electri- city, atmospheric and voltaic; magnetism, and electro -magnetism ; concluding with magneto- and thermo - electricity. The experi- ments are well illustrated with woodcuts ; and from the easy description of their performance, the work is most valuable for the student and amateur, while it forms a most convenient text- book for the man of science.” — Mining Journal. “ An able and popular compilation, on a subject of increasing interest, and very hilly illustrated with wood cuts.” — Athenceum .
