Ure's Dictionary OF ARTS MANUFACTURES, and MINES. Containing a clear Exposition of their Principles and Practice. By ROBERT HUNT, F.R.S., Keeper of Mining Records, formerly Professor of Physics, Royal School of Mines; author of "Researches on Light," etc. Assisted by numerous contributors eminent in science and familiar with manufactures. Vol. IV. supplementary to the Seventh Edition; pp. 1028, with 440 wood-cuts. Medium 8vo, price $12.50 (42s.), cloth. THE SEVENTH EDITION OF URE'S DICTIONARY, Complete in four vols., including Supplement. With 2604 wood-cuts. Price $36 (£7. 7s.), cloth. It was discovered, when the latter pages of the Third Volume of this Dictionary were printed, in 1875, that several of the articles in the earlier portions of the work required some additions, owing to the advances which had been made in the useful applications of science, and that new articles were necessary to record the progress of several examples of inventive ingenuity. To meet this necessity it was determined to produce a Supplementary Volume, in which all the required additions should be made, and all improvements and new applications of value carefully recorded. It is hoped this has now been done in a satisfactory manner, and that this Supplementary Volume will be found to include everything relating to Arts, Manufactures, and Mines, which has claimed attention since the publication of the previous volumes, and to represent faithfully the state of these divisions of human industry up to the commencement of 1878.
