Book Overview

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 comprehensive guide to the art of projecting, which involves the use of the Porte Lumiere and Magic Lantern to project images onto a screen. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the principles of optics, the properties of light, the construction and use of projectors, and the preparation of slides for projection. It also includes detailed instructions for conducting experiments in physics, chemistry, and natural history using the Porte Lumiere and Magic Lantern. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both beginners and experienced projectors. Overall, The Art of Projecting is an essential resource for anyone interested in the art of projecting and the use of projectors in scientific experimentation.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.
