The present will be found in all respects more avail able to the purposes of tuition than any former Edition. Not only has the Work throughout, - including the List of Prefixes, Affixes, and Roots, in the Appendix, - been carefully revised; but, to ensure the greatest possible correctness, the whole of the scientific Lessons have been submitted to the revision of gentlemen eminent for their attainments in science: And it will probably be consid ered a sufficient presumption of philosophical accuracy, that they have received the corrections of Dr Greville, in the Botanical part; of Mr James Wilson, in the Zoolo gical part; and of Dr Fyfe, Mr Trotter, and Mr Lees, in the Chemical, Geographical, and Physical departments respectively. An additional improvement, - introduced for the first time in the present impression, and fitted, it is hoped, to render the whole at once more useful and more attractive, - is a Series of Diagrams and other Pic torial Embellishments, illustrative of such parts of the text as may not be adequately understood without the help of delineations addressed to the eye.
To the Writers whose names are appended to the various Lessons, some apology is perhaps due for the liberties which have been occasionally taken in abridg ing, simplifying, and otherwise altering their productions.

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.
Returns
As a small publisher we do not have the facilities to resell returned books, so any returned book will be recycled. If the book is damaged or defective please continue with the return process, and thank you for letting us know so that we can improve our products. If you’re returning for another reason, however, please consider whether you could donate or gift the book instead so that it avoids the waste pile.
Thank you in advance!
