"This book is preeminently clear, concise, practical in all its allusions to art, simple in its arrangements, and illustrated by experiments requiring no array of costly apparatus. It is a work worthy of its author, and will bear the character we have given to it, even when subjected to the severest scrutiny." From A. A. HAYES, M. D, Assayer to the State of Massachusetts. "After reading this work in the translation by Dr. Peirce, I have formed the opinion that, as an easy introduction of the student to the principles of chemistry, it is unrivalled by any book in our language. Rarely is it possible to find an elementary work which, without being voluminous, discusses so many subjects clearly." From CHARLES T. JACKSON, M. D. "Stockhardt's Chemistry will prove a useful elementary book in teaching the principles of chemistry. It has the advantage over most of the English works on chemistry, of introducing among pupils of our schools and colleges the Continental system of notation, and the metrical system of weight and measures. The old Daltonian atomic numbers, advocated by Prout and others, is only used in England, and will soon be abandoned there. It is, therefore, highly desirable that the Berzelian system, generally employed on the continent of Europe, should be introduced here. Stockhardt's book will serve this valuable purpose. It also conveys much useful elementary knowledge of the science of chemistry, perhaps as much as could be condensed within so narrow limits." Extract from Professor Horsford's Introduction, "The qualifications of this work as a text-book for schools are such as to leave little, if anything, to be desired. The classification is exceedingly convenient. The elucidation of principles and the explanation of chemical phenomena are admirably clear and concise. The book is also well adapted to the wants of teachers who desire to give occasional experimental lectures at a moderate expense, and of those who design to commence the study of chemistry, either with or without the aid of an instructor." From JOHN A. PORTER, Professor of Chemistry applied to Art, in Yale College. "I concur entirely in the views of the work expressed by Professor Horsford in the Introduction, and shall recommend it to those pursuing the study of chemistry under my direction." From GEORGE B. EMERSON. "I have carefully studied Stockhardt's Chemistry, and have used it in the instruction of my classes. As a textbook it is worthy of all praise; far better than any I have examined since the progress of science rendered the Conversations on Chemistry obsolete. The original is the work of a man at once skillful as a teacher and profound in his knowledge of the history and principles of his science, and familiar with facts and the details of manipulation. The translation is faultless. It has entirely the air of an original; and in simplicity, clearness, and conciseness may be regard ed as a model," EVIDENCES OF THE GENUINENESS OF THE HANSARD'S PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES. Messrs.

THE ARTIST: A JOURNAL OF THE FINE ARTS, DEVOTED TO Sculpture, Painting, Architecture, Engraving, Poetry, Music, and the Drama. The Advancement of the Fine Arts, and of Practical Science, will be readily recognized by you, as worthy the attention of a great and enlightened nation. THE FINE ARTS are a precious and leading element of civilization, and must always determine, to some extent, the character and position of every nation. The new impulse which the Great Exhibition recently awakened, at least in one department-the application of the Fine to the Useful Arts--should extend to all, and act, not for the sake of the Useful Arts alone, but upon the Fine Arts, in and for themselves. We invoke in behalf of Art the powerful aid of Literature. The Literature of Art is comparatively an untilled field among us. Its office is to guide and develope the awakened instinet, to keep it alive, to supply it with materials for its purposes, and to clear its path. We may congratulate ourselves that an increasing interest in practical undertakings having reference to art is accompanied by a growing activity and productiveness in its literature also. We welcome it as an auspicious sign that we do not err in seeking to establish a Journal devoted to its cause. Without undue disparagement of any organs now existing, we may confidently affirm, that the necessities of the public are not met; and we hope to prove that conscientious thought, criticism and information, can effect something for the numerous and important interests involved in the cultivation of the Fine Arts, for the want of which they now continually suffer. "THE ARTIST" will be devoted to the interests of Art, to the enforcing of its claims as an intellectual, moral and practical agent, and to the elevating of the public sentiment with regard to it. "He who believes that the best age of production is past, has conceived but meanly of the resources of man. Art has not yet come to its maturity, if it do not put itself abreast of the urost potent influences of the world, if it is not practical and moral-if it do not stand in connection with the conscienceif it do not make the poor and uncultivated feel that it addresses them with a voice of lofty cheer." The faculties employed in Art are among the noblest of the human mind; and in proportion to their nobility is the importance of an earnest and conscientious devotion to their guidance and development. The position of the mind, in being so far from holding its due place in art, is owing to the want of proper appreciation and study of its principles and ends. We shall endeavor to bring to them the light of free, calm, and carnest inquiry and examination; calling upon Artists, as ministers at the shrine, to study its truths and mysteries, with at least that intensity and devotion which the true priest gives to religion, or men of business to their affairs, or scholars to their books; and upon the public, as guardians of an inestimable treasure, to see that it is brought to light and developed by the application of those means which have always been found the true ones, and to clear from greatness its encumbering rubbish. Greatness cannot be produced, but its energies may be economised, its power preserved from the distortion and decay caused by unhealthy stimulants and false principles. Our pages will be open to the free discussion of the Principles of Art, and no pains will be spared to obtain the co-operation of the best writers on art, to whatever country they may belong; for we are of opinion that much injury has resulted from the too great exclusion of other national minds, or what may be called "the other side of the question." We have something to impart as well as much to learn. The views of artists will be prized and sought, for they have a peculiar and inestimable value. Artists are ministers within the veil, while others are but sojourners in the outer courts; and we feel confident, that if they are silent, it is rather through humility than ignorance. While our chief attention will be directed to PAINTING, SCULPTURE, and ENGRAVING, we shall include also the most interesting phases of ARCHITECTURE MUSIC, POETRY, and the DRAMA, The History and Biography of Art, both ancient and modern, will be fully developed and illustrated; the peculiar excellence of Ancient Art duly dwelt upon, and the sources of its greatness analysed. Past and Foreign Schools will be represented from their own points of view; also, THE RISING SCHOOL OF AMERICA, already claiming notice, and important in its future, being necessarily allied to our own in its motive and its material, as well as from the similarity of social and intellectual organisation in its people, owing with us a common origin. The characteristics of the Schools, and the influence they exert, will be exhibited both by History and Criticism. Christian Art, for a long time lost sight of, but now exciting a new interest, will be treated with that amount of research and illustration its importance demands. It will be our endeavor to keep the public informed of the state of Foreign Art, both by illustration and correspondence, and to place before it the chefs d'aurre of the Foreign schools. The ILLUSTRATIONS will, for the most part, be taken from subjects NOT PREVIOUSLY ENGRAVED, and be executed in ALL THE VARIOUS STYLES AND METHODS OF ENGRAVING KNOWN, adapting each to the requirements of the work engraved. In the Technical branches of Art, we shall duly record the applications of the discoveries in science to the improvement of pigments, varnishes, media, &c., and detail the various methods practiced in the ancient and modern schools; also the Topography of Art, denoting the localities of prized works, with descriptions of public and private collections: in short, every topie that can interest those who cultivate a taste for the Arts, will be treated in the most pleasing manner the subjects admit of. Whatever throws light on the artistic organisation of life, or pertains to the cause of Art, and especially all that belongs to the moral tendencies and qualities of Art as the Evangel of the Supreme Beauty-the antidote and balance of utilitarianism and selfishness--will find place in our columns.
