PREFACE. results with little trouble, I have concluded to omit 1/n> g«s, which would increase the bulk of the Manuul, without a corresponding addition to its usefulness. PREFACE TO FIFTH EDITION. THE lime light, in an improved form, having been in- troduced into the Sciopticon, it has become expedient to append to the Sciopticon Manual, a description of the apparatus and directions for its use. The demand for Lantern projections is steadily on the increase. A fine photograph (arid what can be finer?) projected upon a largo screen, before a thousand spec- tators, gives, it is safe to say, ten thousand times the satisfaction that one alone with his stereoscope receives from it. The appreciation is cumulative. "The more the merrier," is the philosophy of it. The Sciopticon with its oil lamp, rather than with its lime light, continues to be the choice of the many, be- cause its use is convenient and inexpensive. There are purposes and occasions however for which the lime light is a necessity. The gas therefore has now received its full share of attention. Much of the added matter is intended to assist those who have a Sciopticon, to pro- vide themselves with interesting objects for exhibition, without resort to a large assortment of exoensive slides.
