*' Mr. Muybridge showed that many of our best artists 

 have been in the habit of depicting animals in positions 

 which they never assume in nature." — Chambers' Edin- 

 burgh Journal. 



' ' The large school-room (Clifton College) was crowded. 

 The head master presided. Loud applause and frequent 

 Laughter greeted the life-sized photographs from nature, 

 which by a rapid revolution of the Zoopraxiscope, showed 

 among other actions, the ambling of an elephant, the 

 gallop of a race-horse, the somersault of a gymnast and 

 the flight of a bird." — Bristol Mercury.
