THE

LIFE, TIMES, AND SCIENTIFIC LABOURS

OF THE

MARQUIS OF WORCESTER:

TO WHICH IS ADDED A REPRINT OF HIS

CENTURY

OF

INVENTIONS,

WITH A COMMENTARY THEREON.

By HENRY DIRCKS, Civil Engineer, &c.

A few copies remain of the thirty copies printed on LARGE PAPER 1 vol. 4to. with INDIA PROOFS before the Letters of the Portraits, price £4 4s.

A Life of the Marquis of Worcester, one of the most prominent historical characters amongst the adherents of Charles I., and at the same time the greatest Engineer of his age, has long been wanted;-it is now presented to the public, uniform with Smiles' 'Lives of the Engineers,' to which it will form a companion.

The Marquis of Worcester's Century of Inventions' has been for 200 years an English household book; but, in spite of the many editions, it has always been difficult to obtain a copy. In the present volume the Century of Inventions' is reprinted in facsimile from the first edition, with a running commentary.

Mr. DIRCKS' name, as a scientific man, is best known to the public as the inventor of the popular phantasmagoria, The Ghost,' so successfully ex hibited at the Polytechnic and on the Stage.

the love of the young for religion, and to lead those of mature years to serviceable reflections. As aids to serious thought, and as a choice contribution to religious literature, we can cordially commend this work.'

The MONTGOMERYS and THEIR FRIENDS.

A Tale. Crown Svo. cloth, price 6s.

That thou mightest know the certainty of those things wherein thou hast been instructed.' ST. LUKE. "Christian Certainty" gives evidence of considerable reading, and is written in a lively and somewhat slashing style.' READER.

Exhibiting much research, the Author presents his arguments in a clear and forcible manner, and without any personal invective he overwhelms with ridicule the deductions which infidels draw from scientific evidence. Throughout he preserves a dignified style, and while taking great pains to expose the assumption of philosophy,

chievous assaults of ignorance. As a valiant champion,
our Author is well armed at all points, and uses his wea-

PUBLIC OPINION.

To analyse the several features of such a masterly
volume would be almost impossible, and by many of our
readers would be thought undesirable; we will therefore
simply say that the subject is handled both objectively
and subjectively in a style hitherto unattempted for com-
pleteness and fairness of research.'
