NATURE DISPLAYED ON THE EARTH AND IN THE HEAVENS. In which every interesting object in the Solar System, Starry Heavens, and Phenomena of the Earth as a Planet, and its productions animate and inanimate, are fully and circumstantially described. And all subjects connected with Are treated of in detail according to the latest discoveries and best authorities in every branch, BY SIMEON SHAW, LL.D. MASTER OF THE GRAMMAR SCHOOL AT BURSLEM. The Title Page of this Work sufficiently expresses its attrac tive plan and object, and the general design has long been legitimatized in the celebrated NATURE DISPLAYED of the ABBE LA PLUCHE, of which this new work is a confessed improvement, while it brings down the exhibition of knowledge to the present time, and leaves nothing to be desired by the student and lover of Nature. As a Book for the young for family use, for circulating libraries, for village popular institutions, for purposes of education, and as a general book of Reference on its various important subjects, it transcends by many degrees every other production of the English Press, while in its curious and various engravings, it is surpassed in its general attractions by no book in any modern language. The engravings are sold separately in the Atlas-form, constitute à grand ATLAS of NATURE, and the volume being provided with copious descriptions of every subject, forms a study in itself, by means of which a competent knowledge of the works of Nature may be acquired as the finish of a liberal education, and as the necessary accomplishment of polished society. Printed for GEO. B. WHITTAKER, Ave-Maria-lane, London, and to be had of all Booksellers in the United Kingdom and Colonies. |
