The Popular Science Monthly was started to promote the difiusion of raluable scientific knowledge in a readable and attractive form among all classes of the community. It has met with unexampled success, and it is universally admitted that its plan has been faithfully carried out, and that it meets a want supplied by no other periodical in the United States. It contains instructive and attractive articles, and abstracts of articles, original, selected, translated, and illustrated, from the leading scientific men of different countries, giving the latest interpretations of natural phenomena, explaining the applications of science to the practical arts, and to the operations of domestic life. It will also contain accounts of all the new scientific discoveries, and its pages will form a complete record of the progress of the age. It is designed to give especial prominence to those branches of science which help to a better understanding of the nature of man ; to present the claims of scientific education ; and the bearings of science upon questions of society and government. How the various subjects of current opinion are affected by the advance of scientific inquiry will also be considered. In its literary character, this periodical aims to be popular, without being superficial, and appeals to the intelligent reading-classes of the community. It seeks to procure authentic statements from men who know their subjects, and who will address the non-scientific public for purposes of exposition and explanation. The Popular Science Monthly is the organ of no sect, party, or school, but will be devoted to the broad interests of advancing knowledge, as it is expounded by the emment thinkers of England, France, Germany, and the United States, each writer being responsible for his own views.
