Abstract
THE author of this book has a great belief in what he calls general science, which apparently amounts to a slight knowledge cf many sciences. A pupil who knows a little about a great many subjects will, he considers, be able to obtain a bird's-eye view of the whole ground of knowledge, and to reason from many points of view on the phenomenon of nature. Further, a general course of this kind should reach every pupil somewhere and stimulate his ambition to learn more of at least one subject. Thus in the three hundred or so pages of this little volume we find sections devoted to almost all known sciences, illustrated by 100 experiments, with cross references to a large number of textbooks and bulletins.
