The Optical Magic Lantern Journal (January 1900)

vi. The Optical Magic Lantern Journal and Photographic Enlarger. TH E BO E RS ™ Their Country, their Ways, their By Rey. J. H. RIDDETTE, a Neigh bours, and their War. Three Years an Outlander. This set of slides, prepared not from drawings or illustrated papers, but from photographic negatives, is of the greatest interest and value, and that interest is permanent and not ephemeral. The lecture has been arranged by the Kev. J. H. Riddettc, who has himself been an “ Outlander,” and who writes, therefore, from personal knowledge of the country and people. The lecture is of absorbing interest, and full of solid information. Many of the slides are prepared from My. Riddette’s own negatives. In this set we see the country of Paul Kruger, its cities, gold mines and mountains. We learn who the Boers are, and get a glimpse into their customs. We gain acquaintance with their neighbours north, south, east, and west; and are clearly informed of the causes which led up to the present war. We have made arrangements whereby the production of this set will be continued NIGHT and DAY, our men working in shifts. ORDERS SHOULD BE BOOKED EARLY, AND WILL BE DELIVERED IN ROTATION. “LIST OF SLIDES. All from Photographic Negatiwes. INTRODUCTORY. THE BOERS’ WAYS, 41a. Me Geet rede. ast— 1.
