''Orr's Circle of the Sciences'' was a scientific encyclopedia of the 1850s, published in London by William Somerville Orr. ==William S Orr & Co.==
William S. Orr & Co. was a publisher in Paternoster Row, London. It put out the ''British Cyclopædia'' in ten volumes of the 1830s. It also was in business selling engravings (for example the Kenny Meadows illustrations to Shakespeare),〔(British Museum database, ''Kenny Meadows''. )〕 and maps, such as a mid-century ''Cab Fare and Guide Map of London'' (c. 1853). The firm was a general commercial publisher, with a specialist area of natural history, and also published periodicals. It was innovative in its use of wood engraving, in its 1838 edition of ''Paul et Virginie''. In children's literature, it published Christoph von Schmid's ''Basket of Flowers'' in an English translation of 1848, in partnership with J. B. Müller of Stuttgart.
