WERNER’S NOMENCLATURE OF COLOURS,

With Additions, so as to render it highly useful to the Arts and Sciences, particularly Zoology, Botany, Chemistry, Mineralogy, and Morbid Anatomy. Annexed to which are examples selected from well-known objects in the Animal, Vegetable, and Mineral Kingdoms.

By PATRICK SYME,

Flower-Painter, Edinburgh; Painter to the Wernerian and Caledonian Horticultural Societies.

“Having the good fortune to possess a colour-suite of minerals, made, under the eye of Werner, by my late friend H. Meuder of Freyberg, and being desirous of making this collection as generally useful as possible, I mentioned my wish to Mr Syme, who readily undertook to make a delineation of all the varieties in this collection. This he executed with his usual skill and accuracy; adding, at the same time, to the series several other colours, which he has distinguished by appropriate names, and arranged along with those in the Wernerian system. The whole has been published in a series of Tables, in a Treatise which ought to be in the hands of every Mineralogist, and indeed in the possession of Naturalists of every description.”--Professor JAMESON’S Characters of Minerals.

HISTORICAL SKETCH

THE PROGRESS OF DISCOVERY, NAVIGATION, AND COMMERCE,

From the earliest Records to the beginning of the Nineteenth Century.

BY WILLIAM STEVENSON, ESQ.

⁂ This HISTORICAL SKETCH has been drawn up with reference to, and in order to form the 18th and concluding Volume of KERR’S VOYAGES and TRAVELS. But though drawn up with this object, it is strictly and entirely an independent and separate Work. At the conclusion of the Volume is given a Select Catalogue of Voyages and Travels, which, it is hoped, will be found generally useful, not only in directing reading and inquiry, but also in the formation of a Library.
