      A BOOK THAT ALL SHOULD READ . FAMILIAR THINGS . A MISCELLANY OF USEFUL AND ENTERTATNIMG KNOWLEDGE , EMBELLISHED WITH NUMEROUS WOOD ENGRAVINGS . 32 Pawea , foolscap , 8 vo ., price 2 d . Monthly . There is nothing , however trifling or insignificant it may ^ appear , bat contains within itself or its history—when we take the trouble to search it out—much that is interesting , useful , and instructive . . , The familiar objects by which we are 8 urroun , ded ,, no matter how well known and common they may be accounted , have all connected with them many interesting facts , with which few are acquainted . How little do we regard thethinss which daily minister to our comforts , yet how curious are the processes tnrough which they must pass , before they are fit for our use or amusement ; those who have been in the manufacturing districts must be fully alive to the vast amount of profitable knowledge which lies hid under the simple exterior of our household objects . The aim and purpose of this work is to csnvey , man interesting and popular form , so much of the Natural History , Chemistry , and Commercial Value of familiar thin ? s , interspersed with light and pleasing anecdotes and incidents of interest , as shall giveits readers a proper idea of the value and importance of the things which they meet with in every-day life , the care , fatigue , and perhaps danger , with which they are produced , and not to be contented with an imperfect knowledge of themselves , and the things with which they are surrounded .
