Abstract
WHO would have dreamt at the last annual meeting of the Victoria Institute, that before a year was out, we should be able to see on a screen, to receive on a photographic plate, which is afterwards developed, the skeleton, or a portion of the skeleton of a living man, or at least a living child? And as the modes of exciting these rays improve, we shall probably go on, step by step—indeed already, I believe, the whole body of a full grown man has been penetrated by these rays, the discovery of which we owe to Dr. Röntgen.
