    THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY, (Established May, 1872,) Conducted by Prof. E. L. YOU MAKS. The Popular Science Monthly was started to promote the diffusion of valuable sci- entific knowledge, in a readable and attractive form, among all classes of the community, and has thus far met a want supplied by no other periodical in the United States. The great feature of the magazine is, that its contents are not what science was ten or more years since, but what it is to-day, fresh from the study, the laboratory, and the experiment: clothed in the language of the authors, inventors, and scientists themselves, which comprise the leading minds of England, France, Germany, and the United States. Among popular articles, covering the whole range of Natural Science, we have the latest thoughts and words of Herbert Spencer, and Professors Huxley, Tyndall, and R. A. Proctor. Since the start, it has proved a gratifying success to every friend of scientific progress and universal education; and those who believed that science could not be made any thing but dry study, are disappointed. The press all over the land is warmly commending it. We subjoin a few encomiums from those recently given : “ That there is a place for Tub Popular Science Monthly, no one can doubt who has watched the steady increase of interest in scientific investigation manifested in this country, not only by a select class, but by the e a tiro community.”—New York Times. “ A journal which promises to be of eminent value to the cause of popular education in this country.”—New York Tribune. It is, beyond comparison, the best attempt at journalism of the kind ever made in this country.” —Home Journal. “The initial number is admirably constituted.” —Evening Mail. “Wo think it is not too much to say that this is the best first number of any magazine ever pub- lished in America.”—Am York World. “It is just what is wanted by the curious aud progressive mind of this country, and ought to be widely circulated.”—Am York Evening Tost. “ It is the first successful attempt in this coun- try to popularize science in the pages of a month- ly.”—Ar. Y. School Journal. “Not the less entertaining because it is instruc- tive.”—Philadelphia Age. “The Monthly has more than fulfilled all the promises which the publishers made in the pro- spectus of publication.”—Niagara Falls Gazette. “It places before American readers what the ablest men of science throughout the world write about their meditations, speculations, and discover- ies.”—Providence Journal. “ This is a highly-auspicicus beginning of a use- ful and much-needed enterprise in the wav of pub- lication, for which the public owe a special debt of obligation to Messrs. D. Appleton & Co.”—Boston Gazette. “ This new enterprise appeals to all who are in- terested in the laudable effort of diffusing that infor- mation which is best calculated to expand the mind and improve the conditions aud enhance the worth of life.”—Golden Age. “Just the publication needed at the presentday. Montreal Gazette. “ This new magazine, in our estimation, has more merit than the whole brood which have preceded it.”—Oswego Press. In our opinion, the right idea has been happily hit in the plan of this new monthly.”—Buffalo Conner. “This is one of the very best periodicals of its kind published in the world. Its corps of contribu- tors comprise many of the ablest minds known to science and literature. It is doing a great and noble work in popularizing science, promoting the growth of reason, and leveling the battlements of old superstitions reared in the childhood of our race before it was capable of reasoning.”—The American Medical Journal. St. Louis, Mo. “ This magazine is worth its weight in gold, for its service in educating the people.”—The American Journal of Education. St. Louis, Mo. “This monthly enables us to utilize at least sev- eral years more of life than it would be possible were wo obliged to wait its publication in book-form at the hands of some compiler.” — The Writing Teacher and Business Advertiser, New York.
