The Nautical Magazine first appeared in 1832, and was published monthly well into the twenty-first century. It covers a wide range of subjects, including navigation, meteorology, technology and safety. An important resource for maritime historians, it also includes reports on military and scientific expeditions and on current affairs. The 1869 volume marks the completion of the Suez Canal, describing a voyage through it by canoe and, later, the grand opening in the presence of royalty and Christian and Islamic religious leaders. It also celebrates the installation of lightning conductors throughout the British fleet after a thirty-five-year campaign to eliminate lightning-related deaths, injuries and damage. Other articles discuss the welfare of seamen, the responsibilities of ships' officers and shipowners, voyages to East Asia and Australasia, the geography of South America, the laying of the French transatlantic cable and the completion of the Pacific Railroad from New York to San Francisco.

"Art, in some of its phases, is wholly wedded to the beautiful; and may be expressed as thought realized in some form of beauty or sublimity. This relates more especially to the fine arts; those of architecture, sculpture, and painting; in which the forms of physical beauty are so moulded by the hand of genius as to serve a higher purpose in the production of moral beauty. The arts of a people are, however, by no means limited to those of design. The mental arts of music, poetry, and eloquence, possess as strong a claim upon the aesthetic nature of man as those of architecture, sculpture, and painting. Nor is a limit found here. There is art in dramatic representation. There is art in sieges and battles; in attack and defense. The question then arises, how are we to define art in its most extensive signification? What is the subject upon which it operates? What is the reason or final cause of its operation? And where is the limit or ultimate termination of all its action?"--

"This volume contains: 1st, an account of the "Various Editions of Pascal's Thoughts;" 2d, an essay on the "Genius and Writings of Pascal;" 3d, "Pascal considered as a Philosophic Skeptic;" 4th, the "Thoughts of Pascal;" 5th, the "Letters of Pascal;" and 6th, the "Opuscules of Pascal." We take leave of Pascal with regret. Many holy hours we have spent in his company, and have thanked the Omniscient for such a revelation in man of moral and intellectual force. We regard Pascal not only as the greatest genius but as the holiest man that France has produced. To the young men of America we commend a writer in whom greatness and rectitude of mind were combined in an equal degree"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved).
