p:abstract
  • A Guide to the Scientific Knowledge of Things Familiar, also known as The Guide to Science or Dr. Brewer's Guide to Science, is a book by Ebenezer Cobham Brewer presenting scientific explanations for common phenomena of life. First published in the United Kingdom in or around 1838, the success of the small volume was almost unparalleled, with over 319,000 copies and 47 editions being printed by 1905 in English alone. The popularity of The Guide to Science enabled Brewer to gather material for his Dictionary of Phrase and Fable. While the latest editions of this latter book remain a classic reference work, The Guide to Science itself has interest today only for the insight it provides into everyday scientific understanding during the mid-19th century.
