Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science, Vol. 1: January-June, 1851
The commencement of this New Series suggests the hope that the Philosophical Magazine may at this period receive an accession to the number of its supporters. Those of its Editors who have stood beside it for half a century, and made it their endeavour that it should be honestly, independently and usefully conducted, may be permitted, on this occasion, to urge how much the means of giving additional interest and value to the Journal must depend upon the support afforded to them; in the hope that many lovers of science who are not already subscribers may take this opportunity of adding to the number of those by whose encouragement alone the work has been upheld.
