One on International Law, by G. W. Hastings, Esq., barrister-at-law; another on Chemistry applied to the Arts, by Dr. Crace Calvert, and a third on Art applied to Industry.<br><br>The Lectures comprised in this latter course form the greater portion of the present work; the additions consisting of two other Lectures upon the same subject, and which were read respectively at the Architectural Association and at the South Kensington Museum.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
