applied sciences 95 Geology and Mining The Lectures delivered on the subject of Geology are in- tended to have especial reference to the important practical applications of that Science to Engineering Mining Architcc- turc and Agriculture They are given to Students of the Second and Third Year in the Lent and Easter Terms on Wednesday and Friday morning Lent Term -Descriptive Geology Easter Term -Practical Geology in its application to Mining Engineering Architecture and Agriculture In order more fully to exemplify the applications of the Science the Professor accompanies his Class to various Μ11- scums in London including the Museum of Practical Geology and the British Museum also on excursions into the Country in which the actual field-work of the Geologist is explained and illustrated There is an Examination at the close of the Course by which the progress of the Students is tested Museum is in course of formation and alreadv possesses many very interesting and instructive series of specimens XI Engineering Workshop Students of the First Year on joining the Department are made acquainted with the different Tools and their practical application to the purposes of Carpenters' and Joiners' work by going through the processes of Preparing the Wood setting out and forming the various Joints used in Construe- tions of Wood after which they arc employed in making Models in which the preceding Joints are combined so as to form Trusses for Roofs Bridges Girders and other Framings required for Buildings and other purposes and proceed from that to the practice of making Boxes Cabinets &c of different kinds either of Wood in its plain state or Veneered Second Year Students are then enabled to proceed with the construction of Models of various sorts in illustration of the different apparatus used in Practical Mechanics Manufactures and Philosophical Experiments which involve the necessity of Turning for which purpose they are instructed in the use
