1877. Illustrated. From the Preface: The object of this treatise is to point out to teachers of physical science, and to others who may be interested in experimentation, the usefulness of the Magic Lantern, and especially of the Porte Lumiere, and a few other pieces of apparatus which can mostly extemporized. With these a surprisingly large number of experiments in every department of physics may be performed, and every department of science and art may be illustrated; and the illustrations may be upon a scale of magnitude which will surprise one who has never witnessed them. The manipulation of the apparatus is not at all difficult, and no one need fear he will not succeed in doing anything described in the book, provided that at first he masters the simple conditions of projection with a single lens and with a condenser.
