Through Magic Glasses and Other Lectures: A Sequel to Fairyland of Science
(Forgotten Books April 16, 2017)
Excerpt from Through Magic Glasses and Other Lectures: A Sequel to Fairyland of Science
The two last lectures wander away from this path, and yet form a natural conclusion to the Magician's lectures to his young Devonshire lads. They have been published before, one in the Y out/1's Companion of Boston, u.s., and the other in Atalanta, in which the essay on Fungi also appeared in a shorter form. All three lectures have, however, been revised and fully illustrated, and I trust that the volume, as a whole, may prove a pleasant Christmas companion.
For the magnificent photograph of Orion's nebula, forming the Frontispiece, I am indebted to the courtesy of Mr. Isaac Roberts, who most kindly lent me the plate for reproduction; and I have had the great good fortune to obtain permission from MM.
