JAMES GLAISHEE, Esq., E.E.S., 



And accompanied with Descriptive Articles by Writers of 

 Eminence in the respective Departments. 



Among the subjects to which Photography can be most successfully applied, Archi- 

 tecture stands pre-eminent ; but Photography is equally applicable to almost all works 

 of Art, whether in statuary, carving, or ceramic ware ; and arrangements are being 

 effected to provide subjects of great interest in each of these departments, both in 

 England and abroad. To these will be added Stereographs of Landscape Scenery, and 

 of objects of Science and Natural History, which shall be at once curious and beau- 

 tiful as pictures, and valuable as scientific illustrations. 



The principal feature in the undertaking is that an original article will accompany 

 each picture. Eminent men in the several departments of Art, Science, and Literature, 

 which it is intended to illustrate, have placed their services at the Editor's disposal, 

 and their judgment will, in all cases, be consulted as to the selection of subjects. 



Photographers, professional or /imateur, possessing' anij unpublished Negatives, or 

 designing new ones, are invited to put themselves in communication witJi the Pub- 

 lisher,

AN ASTEONOMEE'S EXPEEIMENT; 



OR, 



Specialities of a Residence above the Clouds. 

 By PEOFESSOE C. PIAZZI SMYTH, 



HER majesty's ASTRONOMER FOR SCOTLAND. 



" The narrative is so uniformly interesting, so original in substance, and pleasing in 

 manner, that even the ordinary reader will find in it nothing monotonous or occult. 

 Altogether it is a rare and fascinating booli." Leader. 



" The special interest of this work lies in the fart that it supplies the first example of 

 the application of the principle of the stereoscope to book-illustration. Nearly all the 

 pictures have been taken at heights of from seven to twelve thousand feet above the 

 level of the sea, and on the lower ground we are shown a dragon-tree walk, a cactus- 

 garden, cochineal-gatherers at work, and other scenes never before realized in this 

 manner to eyes in England." Examinkr.
