Department of General Enstruction in the Applied

Sciences,

INCLUDING ENGINEERING, PRACTICAL SURVEYING AND LEVELLING, MANUFACTURING ART AND MACHINERY, &c.

OBJECT OF THE DEPARTMENT, AND NATURE OF THE INSTRUCTION. THE object of this Department of King's College is to provide a system of general instruction, essentially practical in its nature, for the large and important class of young men hereafter to be engaged in Civil and Military Engineering, Surveying, Architecture, Commerce, and the higher branches of Manufacturing Art.

The course of instruction comprises those branches of knowledge which form the groundwork of a liberal education. The following are the subjects taught in this department:FIRST YEAR.-Mathematics. Natural Philosophy. Chemistry. Manufacturing Art. Geometrical Drawing. Mineralogy, Land-Surveying. Workshop.

SECOND YEAR.-Mathematics. Mechanics. Chemistry. Manufacturing Art and Machinery. Mineralogy. Geology. Land-Surveying. Geometrical Drawing. Workshop. THIRD YEAR.-Mathematics. The Theory of Engineering and Architectural Construction. The Practice of Engineering and Architectural Construction. Manufacturing Art and Machinery. Practical Geology. Chemical Manipulation. Geometrical Drawing. Levelling. Workshop.

The whole course thus occupies three years, and forms an appropriate introduction to that kind of instruction which can only be obtained within the walls of the manufactory, or by actually taking part in the labours of the Surveyor, the Engineer, or the Architect.

Museums, containing important and valuable collections, illustrating the subjects taught, are open to the Students.

The following statement exhibits the nature of the instruction communicated in this Department by the different Professors and Lecturers.

THIRD YEAR.-Spherical Trigonometry; Geometry of three dimensions; Differential Calculus.

NATURAL PHILOSOPHY AND ASTRONOMY.

PROFESSOR-REV. M. O'BRIEN, M.A.

The object of these Lectures is to teach the principal Mechanical Sciences-namely, Statics, Dynamics, Hydrostatics, Pneumatics, and Hydraulics, together with Optics and Astronomy. The instruction given in the first year requires no mathematical knowledge on the part of he Student, the method of solving problems by Construction being adapted.

In the second and third years the Mathematical principles of Mechanics, Hydrostatics, Optics, and Astronomy are taught, including the Theory of Work, the Mathematical Calculations elating to Roofs, Arches, Chain Bridges, Embankments, Strength of Materials, &c., together with the Constructions and use of Optical and Astronomical Instruments.

CHEMISTRY.

PROFESSOR OF CHEMISTRY-W. A. MILLER, M.D. F.R.S.

PROFESSOR OF PRACTICAL CHEMISTRY-J. E. BOWMAN, Esq.
DEMONSTRATOR-J. F. HARDWICH, ESQ.

FIRST YEAR. A PREPARATORY COURSE, which commences with a View of the Forces which concur to the production of Chemical Phenomena, and concludes with a description of the Non-metallic Elements and their principal Compounds.

The Text-Book used in this part of the Course is Daniell's Introduction to the Study of Chemical Philosophy.

SECOND YEAR.-A Course of PRACTICAL CHEMISTRY, in which the applications of Science to the Arts are taught; and the processes of the different Manufactures, of Metallurgy, and of Domestic Economy, explained and illustrated.

Examinations of the Class, both viva voce and by written papers, are held on Wednesdays at the usual Lecture hour.

THIRD YEAR.-The Students are admitted to the Operating Laboratory; and go through a course of Manipulation in the most important operations of Chemistry, including the first steps of Analysis.

EXPERIMENTAL AND ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY.-The object of this Class is to afford Students who are desirous of acquiring a knowledge of analysis, or of prosecuting original research, an opportunity of doing so under the superintendence of the Professor and Demonstrator; Students may enter, upon payment of the Fees, at any time except during the vacation, and for a period of one, three, six or nine months, as may best suit their convenience. The laboratory hours are from ten till four daily, except Saturday, on which day the hours are from ten to one.

Attention will be particularly given to

1. Analytical Chemistry. 2. Agricultural Chemistry. 3. Processes of Manufacturing Art. 4. Physiological Chemistry.

In addition to the Laboratory Fee, each Student defrays the expenses of his own Experiments. The amount of this expense, which is comparatively trifling and often very small, is entirely under his own control.
