Excerpt from A Catalogue of the Library of the London Institution, Systematically Classed, Vol. 4: The General Library; Additions From 1843 to 1852; An Index of Subjects and Index of Authors and Books The mixed sciences are commenced by the descriptive list already noticed, of the Proceedings of those Societies which have been instituted for promoting scientific improvement, fol lowed by the titles of such Journals as are devoted to the same Object. The general mathematical-sciences then succeed, as being the foundation of the second principal division, introducing first Astronomy and subsequently the physical-sciences. Che mistry, the several branches of Natural-history, and the Medical Sciences, are the next in order, on account of their intimate connection with each other; which are followed by the Fine Arts, and by the Mechanical and Useful Arts of every species; concluded by the Encyclopaedias and Dictionaries in which all the Sciences are described and illustrated.
