Overview

Excerpt from Annals of the Lyceum of Natural History of New-York, Vol. 1: Part the First The object of the Lyceum, in publishing Its Annals, is to record new and valuable facts in Natural History and to ad vance the public good by the diffusion of useful knowledge. The importance of this science is, at present, every where ac knowledged; and the attention bestowed on it, in our own country, has already been amply repaid. A great variety of new, useful, and elegant productions have been discovered; and important facts, connected with the agricultural, com mercial, and manufacturing interests, have been elucidated. In our attempts to bring to light the hidden riches of our country, we solicit the assistance of the public. We ask no emolument, we expect no gain. We cherish the hope that our exertions will be encouraged; that we shall be enabled to proceed in the course which we have now commenced.
