BUILDING FOR THE EXHIBITION OF INDUSTRY OF ALL NATIONS, 1851.

THE ATHENÆUM

Of Saturday, August 31st, contains a perspective view of Mr. Paxton's design for the building as finally approved by Her Majesty's Commissioners, and now in course of erection in Hyde Park. The Athenæum of Saturday, the 7th of September, will contain a view of the south front, a view of the east front, a portion on an enlarged scale, and a ground plan.

Several journals having published views of a building which it was supposed would be the building erected, the publisher of The Athenæum considers it proper to state that the views announced above have never been seen by the public, and are totally dissimilar to those engraved in the professional journals.

The Athenæum is published every Saturday, and may be had, by order, of any Bookseller, price 4d., or stamped to pass free by post, 5d.; and contains,

Reviews, with extracts, of every important new English book, and of the more important foreign.

Reports of the learned and scientific societies, with abstracts of all papers of interest.

Authentic Accounts of all scientific voyages and expeditions.
