for continuously recording without photography any 

 physical quantity whose variations can be made to 

 cause corresponding variations of an electrical resist- 

 ance or of a potential-difference. 



These instruments are at present practically 



applied to recording temperature, current,, 

 potential, sunshine intensity, steam 

 pressure, tide level, &c. 



The record is always open to inspection, and has 

 no error whatever arising from pen-friction.

SCOTTISH REMINISCENCES. 



By SIR ARCHIBALD GEIKIE. 



STANDARD. 



" Whosoever is suffering from a fit of the blue devils, or has 

 been disappointed in the citv, like Mr. Bob Sawyer, or has 

 been crossed in love, or has seen a ghost, or is suffering from 

 any of the other causes of melancholy enumerated by Democritus 

 Junior, let him forthwith procure a copy of Sir Archibald 

 Geikie's Scottish A'em/nisceiues, and if ihat does not speedily 

 banish his complaint, it can only be because Nature has denied 

 him any sense of humour. " 



DAILY MAIL. 



" The reader who opens this book, the most delightful volume 

 of stories out this year, will never want to close it again." 



DAILY TELEGRAPH. 



" .\ hoDk which every Scotsman, and every Englishman who 

 knows Scotland, will dip into with delight." 



ECHO. 



" A splendid remedy for uneven temper or unaccountable 

 depression of spirits." 



OUTLOOK. 



"Since Dean Ramsay's admirable Reminiscences oj Scottish 

 Life and Character, no book has appeared to describe the 

 peculiarities of a peculiar people with anything like the light- 

 ness, and yet the certainly, of Sir Archibald Geikie's." 



GRAPHIC. 



" A delightful book, depicting a phase of Scottish life which> 

 has well-nigh passed away."
