These useful works will, when completed, supply all the "Reasons" which the human mind has discovered for the varied and interesting phenomena of Nature; and for events, and their consequences, in religious and civil history. Such a series, entirely original in their plan, and executed with the most conscientious care—embracing the very essence of demonstrative truth and inductive reasoning—must become as widely diffused as the language in which they are written. Each work is complete in itself.
The Reason Why: General Science. A careful collection of some thousands of reasons for things, which, though generally known, are imperfectly understood.

Price ONE DOLLAR. This work assigns reasons for the thousands of things that daily fall under the eye of the intelligent observer, and of which he seeks a simple and clear explanation.
