The Art of Projecting

The Art of Projecting: A Manual of Experimentation in Physics, Chemistry and Natural History with the Porte Lumiere and Magic Lantern is a book written by Professor A. E. Dolbear. The book is a guide to the art of projecting and experimenting with the use of the Porte Lumiere and Magic Lantern. It covers a wide range of topics in physics, chemistry, and natural history, providing detailed instructions on how to conduct experiments and create projections using these tools. The book is divided into several sections, each focusing on a specific topic, such as light, optics, electricity, and magnetism. It also includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the concepts and experiments described in the book. The Art of Projecting is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of science and technology, as well as for those interested in conducting experiments and creating projections in these fields.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.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
