UNIVERSITY EXTENSION MANUALS . Albemarle A Series of Street Universit , London y Extension , under the Manual Editorshi s will p of shortl Professor y be p Knight ublished of by the Mr Universit . Murray , of St . Andrews , primarily designed to aid the University Extension movement y throughout the country , and to supply the need so widely felt by students of Textbooks for study and reference in connection with the authorised Courses of Lectures . These Manuals will differ from those already in existence in that they are not intended for School use , or for Examination purposes ; and that their aim is to > educate except in , rather so far than as they to inform illustrate . The the working enumeration of general of mere laws details , and wil the l development be avoided , of principles ; while the historical evolution , both of the literary and scientific subjects , will be kept in view , along with their philosophical significance . The remarkable success which has attended University Extension in England and Scotland has been partly due to the combination of scientific treatment with popularity , and the union of simplicity with thoroughness . The University Extension movement , however , can only reach those resident in the larger centres of population , while all over the country there are thoughtful persons who desire the same kind of teaching ; and it is for them , as well as for the Extension Lecture students , that this Series is designed . Its aim will be to supply to the public and to the general reader the same kind of teaching as is given in the Lectures , to reflect the spirit which has characterised the movement , and to combine ( as the Lectures have done ) the discussion of principles as well as of facts , and methods along w ith results .
