Excerpt from History of Inventions and Discoveries, Vol. 1 of 4 That the arts had their rise in the East, and-that they were conveyed thence to' the Greeks, and from them't'o the Romans, ls universally admitted. Respecting the in ventions and discoveries however of the early ages, no thing certain is known; Many Of those most useful in common life must have been the production Of periods when men were-little acquainted with letters, or any sure mode of transmitting an account Of their improvements to succeeding generations. The taste which then pre vailed of giving to every thing a divine origin, rendered tra ditional accounts fabulous; and the exaggeration of poets tended 'more and more to make such authorities less wor thy Of credit. A variety Of works also, which might have supplied us with information onithis subject, have been lost; and the relations Of some of those preserved are so *corrupted and.obscure, that the best commentators have not been able to illustrate them. This in particular is the case with many passages in Pliny, an author who appears to have collected with the utmost diligence whatever he thought useful or curious, and whose desire of communi eating knowledge seems to have been equal to-llls' thirst for acquiring it.

Excerpt from A History of Inventions, Discoveries, and Origins, Vol. 1 In revising Beckmann's celebrated Work, we have endeavoured to improve it principally by altering such names, characters, descriptions, and opinions as have become obsolete, or are now known to be erroneous; and by such additions as seemed necessary to bring the accounts of the subjects treated of to the present state of knowledge. In some cases, these additions may appear to diverge from the declared object of the work; but in this we have only followed the example of Beckmann himself, who frequently deviates from a strict historical path, and we think advantageously, for the purpose of introducing curious, instructive, or amusing information. In most cases, where the subject under consideration is a process of manufacture, we have given a brief outline of its practice or theory, unless this had previously been done by the author.

Excerpt from A History of Inventions and Discoveries, Vol. 3 of 4 But even supposing that I may be mistaken, for I do not pretend to have examined this subject very minutely, I think I may with great pro hability venture to assert, that the modern taste for flowers came from Persia to Constantinople, and was imported thence to Europe, for the first time, in the sixteenth century. At any rate, we find that the greater part Of the productions Of our' flower-gardens were conveyed to us by that channel. Clusius and his friends, in particular, contributed very much to excite this taste; and the new plants brought from both the Indies by the travellers who then continued still more fre quently to visit these countries, tended to ih crease it. That period also produced some skilful gardeners, who carried on a considerable trade with the roots and seeds of flowers; and these likewise assisted to render it more general. Among these were John and Vespasian Robin, gardeners to Henry IV of France, ' and-emanuel Sweert, gardener to the emperor Rodolphus II,1' from whom the botanists Of that time procured many rarities, as appears from different passages of their works. As this taste for flowers prevails more at present than at any former period, a short history of some of the objects of it may not be disagreeable, perhaps, to many of my readers.

Excerpt from Discoveries and Inventions of the Nineteenth Century In the following pages an attempt has been made to present a popular account of remarkable discoveries and inventions which characterize the present century. From so large a field, selection was, of course, necessary; and the instances selected have been those which appeared to some extent typical, or those which seemed to have the most direct bearing on the general progress of our age. The topics comprise chiefly those great applications of mechanical, engineering, physical, and chemical science, in which every intelligent person feels concerned; and a few articles only are devoted to certain purely scientific discoveries which are exciting general interest. The Author has aimed at giving a concise, but clear, description of the several subjects; and he has endeavoured to indicate, if not to explain, the principles involved in each discovery and invention; and that without assuming on the part of the reader any knowledge not usually possessed by young persons of either sex who have received an ordinary education. The design has been to treat the subjects as familiarly as might be consistent with a desire to impart real information; while the popular character of the book has not been considered a reason for regarding accuracy as unnecessary. On the contrary, pains have been taken to consult the best authorities; and it is only because the sources of information to which the Author is under obligation are so many, that he cannot acknowledge them in detail. A book on a plan somewhat similar to, but by no means identical with, that of the present work, was projected two or three years ago, by Mr. J. H. Pepper; and, in fact, several sheets were in type, when its progress was permanently interrupted by that gentleman's removal to a distant part of the world.
