Abstract
THIS is a translation of a very interesting little German work on the employment of magnesium light for the purposes of photography, and will form a useful addition to our photographic literature. The author first gives a brief account of the earlier stages of the subject, taking us back to the time when Bunsen and Roscoe, in the year 1859, indicated the considerable advantages the light of magnesium presented for photo-chemical studies and lighting. He then shows how Crookes afterwards employed the light for photographic purposes.
