GREAT .N 1 AILWAY. ADJOURNED MEETING THIS D.Y. The adjourned general meeting of the shareholders in this undertaking was held this day at the London Tavern, Bishopgate-Great—Mr. E. Denison, 2,LP , Chairman of the Board of Directors, in the chair. The former meet• ing, it will be recollected, was adjourned to enable the directors to appeal to the Court of Chancery, relative to the liability of the preference shareholders to participate with the ordinary shareholders in the losses arising from Redpath's defalcations. On Saturday week last the Lord Chancellor and the Lords Justices delivered their decision, placing preference shareholders in the same position as guaranteed stock, and relieving them from the losses accruing in consequence of such defalca tions. The meeting was very numerously attended, mid much angry feeling was displayed by the shareholders throughout the whole of the proceedings. The chairman and directors were received with loud cheers, interspersed with a few hisses ; the former predominated to a great extent. The SECRETARY having read the advertisement con vening the meeting, and its object, Mr. HUGHES, btfore the commencement of business, called attention to the use of proxies, urging that if they used now the proxies issaed for a former occasion they were illegal. (Cries of " No, no," " Hear," and uproar, with cries of "Don't be bullied down by any one.") He referred the legal advisers of the directors to the 7th Victoria, which provided that a proxy for one meeting might be used by the directors at another. (" Hear," and uproar.) The CHAIRMAN said that they were assembled to con sider the report of the directors issued in August last, with one that had been recently issued. The assets for the first half-year of 1857 left an available balance for a dividend of upwards of 183,0001, after paying the interest upon the debenture bonds. He should nos' content himself with asking the meeting to receive the report that had now been in their hands for the last two or three months. Mr. WILSON—Won't you reply to the remarks stated by Mr. Hughes, and condescend to give us your opi nion on the legality or illegality of using such proxies. (Hear, hear, and cAlfusion.) The CHAIRMAN—I nos move the reception and adop tion of the report. (Cheers and hisses.) Mr. HEATH rose- to make some observations on the reports. (Cries of "Off, off," hisses and cheers.") The CHAlRMAN—Practically speaking, you are too late. You should have spoken before I put the ques tion. (Hisses and uproar ;. a voice--" Do you mean to burk all expression of feeling on the report.") Mr. HNATII, after some difficulty, was listened to for a few minutes patiently, in the course of which he re plied to the paragraph in the directors' report relative to the conduct of the preference shareholders. He at tempted to defend the latter, but he was soon assailed with hisses—(cries of " Off, off," " Time, time," and " Qeestion, question"), which continued throughout his address, and prevented his being heard with any degree of accuracy. Mr. JoSIAH WILSON asked if the meeting was called upon to pass the accounts for the last half-year ? The CHAIRMAN—I have asked you to receive the report? After some remarks from several shareholders, Mr. BILLINGS opposed the reports, on the ground that the statements contained in them were incorrect. He characterised the publishing of the holdings of every individual shareholder as a breach of commercial trust. It was not money that made the man, but his conduct, and a small holder might be as good a manager, and have as great a desire to promote the undertaking as a large holder. He denied that preference shareholders were partners in the concern, but mere money lenders. The argument of the directors relative to the detection of Redpath's forgeries were as cracked as "Big Ben." (Laughter.) Mr. GREENING charged the directors with a deliberate untruth in what they had published in the 6th paragraph of the second report issued, and dated 26th November. Mr. WILLIAMS and other gentlemen attempted to ad dress the meeting, but were unable to obtain a hearing. Mr. Huanns called on the chairman to preserve order. (Cries of " Tee meeting is packed," and uproar.) Mr. J. WILSON again rose to address the meeting, and was met with cries of " Spoke." The CHAIRMAN—You are out of order. You have already spoken on the motion. (Cheers, and cries of " Shame.") Mr. J. WILSON—I have not spoken to the question ; I merely asked a question. The CHAIRMAN—I have no objection to hear your eloquent speech. It rests with the meeting. Hisses, and cries of "Insult.") Mr. VALENTINE KNIGHT rose to tyldress the meeting, and was met with cries of " Another preference share ho'der," to which he replied "he was sorry for those unfortunate shareholders who were not." (1143,r, and laughter.) He called on the meeting to calmly consider their position, and lauded the management of the line by the chairman and directors, though he condemned that gentleman's haughty feeling in the chair towards the meeting. He should support the adoption of the report. Mr. GEISLER (a member of the committee of 'share holders) rose to propose a resolution sanctioning the expenses of the committee. The CHAIRMAN said he was out of order, but would call on him at the proper time. He then said that before he put the motion for the adoption of the report, he would make one ur two remarks. If he had ever said anything discourteous to any one, it had been in conse quence of provocation given at the time, and he was very sorry for it. (Loud cheers.) He reminded them that a person occupying the responsible position he held had a great deal to go through. He was ready to let bye.gones be bye-gorses, and forget all that had passed, and he asked them to do the Lame. Mr. HUGHES—Does that include your observations in your report ? (Cheers and hisses.) The CHAIRMAN said he made these remarks purely from personal feelings, never having intended in his life to insult any one. (Cheers.) He had been on many occasions provoked, and bad no doubt spoken at the" time candidly what he meant. (Cheers.) He then put the motion which bad been seconded, which was carried, two only holding up their hands against it. The CHAIRMAN then moved the payment of a divi dend iu accordance with the terms of the report, re marking that the preference shareholders would be paid in full, which had ever been the desire of the directors. Mr.Vare KNIGHT (a preference shareholder) seconded . _ the motion. Mr. BILLING (a preference shareholder) said that if the preference shareholders were not • paid interest he shc.uld consider the directors had robbed him. The motion was put and carried, two only holding up their hands against it. The Cillinme.N declared the motion carried, and said an effort would be made to pay the dividends in a fort night. Mr. GREENING (a third class preference shareholder) moved a vote of censure on the chairman and directors, in the course of which he opened up the case of the preference Shareholders. Ile said the question was, whether they were liable for the thousands and tens of thousands of pounds of dividend the shareholders ought to have received. The speaker read various extracts from the chairman's previous speeches, in the °June of which he was desired to " cut it short," but he angrily replied, "I shall use my discretion about that." He proceeded at great length, and amidst much confusion, to reiterate most of the charges that have been urged against the directors for their conduct with reference to the Redpath frauds, and the subsequent litigation with regard to the prefer ence shareholders. Mr. HUGHES seconded the motion. His wish was to blame the Cha'rman alone, because it . was well known that be was the autocrat acd despot of the lice, and the f ni frauds. occasion,o.utd)sm.directorslet colleaguesH o wt aonfanelosdyr prevent tra h auhed i ev s dt eetl p nhocht u sel ees p r taees p hsrhf puppe t s. ft:risuenpo. inflicted been eteptateheekntereagt(Cheers,oui m eans investigationl anat the hs o d efo c tf rtso shareh olders. prevent of rroeest vhhs Redpath t N hado, take* place that the chairman had su ffi cient knowledge gence su ffi cient to render him personally liable w eo i n t n l h dt e e g t h rh i s i i si usingH He pro te sted r. o fs tehoerSCOTT m if proposedt against he dir e thedirectors as mpuees persisted sm o t e f e dn amendment, n r proxies doing i e an s g means o n . this of. amicably 'settling the question, to the effect that the' directors were chargeable with neglect in placing too much confidence in the officials of the company and the secretary in affixinghis signature to the dividend warrants,' as presented to him in bundles, without checking the amount?, had been guilty of the grossest negligence, and had afforded a temptation to the commission of crime, and hence the means of precipitating the issue of 219,0001. fraudulent stock, had thereby forfeited the' confidence of the shareholders, and ought to be super seded. Mr. LUCK seconded the amendment. Mr. FENWICK defended the conduct of the secretary from the attack that bad been made upon him, urging that it would have been impossible for any one to have guarded against the villainy of such an insidious vaga bond as Redpath. Mr. Sergeant WELLS advised the meeting not to adopt a course that would tend to the injury of the railway stook. Re eulogized the management of the line by the directors, illustrating it by a reference to the weekly receipts amounting to 23,0001. on a capital of 11 millions, greater in proportion than the receipts on any other lime. He condemned this attack on the which he said emanated irons professi ona l agitators and would-be railway reformers. Mr. WATERS (one of the committee) said tbat they had done their best to benefit the undertaking. Re considered the secretary a truly honest man, but he did not possess sufficient ability for the efficient discharge of the duties of the office. He then referred to the ap pointment of the secretary, alleging that it was owing to the chairman, who made it a condition on his taking office. The SECRETARY-.-/t is not true. It's a falsehood. You never uttered a. gross©r falsehood. (Cheers.) Mr. WITHEns, af,er referring to the many officials that had been named as the victims of their wrath, said that probably the " a uditers" were as much to blame as any of the officials. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) He, however, did not intend to charge them with neglect of duty, but the real ps,rty to flame was the unscrup ul o us f or ger who had fallen into the hands of the law and been justly punishe et. It was impossible to get their money back again, And the best thing they could now do was to forget the past, accept the chairman's hand some apehtgy for ar,ything angry that he might have said, and look for ward to the future management of the directors to speedily retrieve their position. He called upon the mover of the motion and amendment to withdraw them, rso as to enable the shareholders to become a united company for the mutual benefit of all interested. (Che ern.) [We shall give, the conclusion in our last edition.] LITERATURE. Blackwood.--" What Will He Do With It" is continued, and an imcortant event occurs. Sophy is taken away from the kind care of her aged pro tector. It is the first melancholy episode in the story, and a gloom settles over the mind of the reader as he hears of that fair young creature being snatched away, in her day-dreams of peace and re tirement, to the companionship of coarse natureq and the toil of pursuits she s o d rea d e d. It i s tru l y said at the commencement of the chapter which describes. the catastrophe, "Laugh at forebodings of evil, but tremble at 'day-dreams of happi ness ." The conduct of Mr. Hartopp proves that it i s no t enough to be well-disposed and kind-hearted to be of service to others ; a man must have self-reliance and an independent spirit, which will enable him to think and act for himself, however adverse ap pearances may be, and however tortuous may be the road he has selected, to walk in. The con cluding passage of the 'narrative here mot with relates a momentous interview between Losely and Mrs. Crane, whose consequences in the future will most likely be of some dire import. " Phre nology in France" is an amusing paper, which refutes many false assertions, and exposes many fallacies of those who arrogate to themselves an unlimited knowledge on such subjects. It truly states that more would be achieved, if less were attempted, by the energetic and enthusiastic devotees :—" If phrenologists would content them selves with asserting that they had half-truths of great importance to communicate, and hoped in course of time to arrive at whole truths , all culti vated minds would urge thorn to go on and prosper." It is mentioned, as a fact worthy of notice, that Mangiamele, a celebrated calculator, had a decided depression at that spot where the organ of number is placed ; further on, it is stated that the head of Napoleon, though extremely well proportioned, was by no means so large as it is ordinarily represented to have been. " Bomber is the name of an interesting work, recently pub- - lished ; some remarks are here made upon it, which are worthy of attention. The Boscobel tracts relate tn the escape, of Charles the Second after the battle of Worcester. Notwithstanding the different hues with which political Opinions colour these events, all, except those who are. too prejudiced to render ;impartial justice, will admire the spirit which animated those who followed an adverse causc ,l , through danger unto death, and in- the holii of trial saw their sovereign's 'misfor tunes—not the faults that had caused, them. " Our Indian Empire" is a well-written article, which contains instructive passages, and conveys some useful hints regarding the important subject referred to. Several extracts are given from emi nent writers on the question of the management •f India. The general conclusion aimed at by these statesmen is, that the empire must be consolidated by power and administered by moderation ; but, it is urged, " we must be strong ere we can be mode rate. The empire of the sword must precede the empire of opinion." After enumerating the various difficulties that beset the way, and entering in de tail on some of the disputed points, the writer takes a sanguine view of England's future in the East, and expresses a conviction that if we stand up man fully to the work before us, our children's children may read in history of our bright success.: " The Works and Genius of Michael Angelo" is an at tractive title for an article, and a perusal in this in stance will not disappoint expectation. In a remarkably interesting manner, the career of this wonderful man is made mention of, and his works are analysed in a style which shows that the writer has entered into the spirit of his task. He asserts that it is one of difficulty, and liable to misconstruc tion, but he who can ignore the genius of Michael Angelo will remain himself deservedly unknown. The object of this criticism is not to exalt or dimi nish, so much as "to elucidate what is obscure, and to reconcile what is anomalous." The follow ing passage institutes a comparison between Michael Angelo and Raphael "History would seem, at certain epochs, of special effort, to throw great men together, sometimes to work out vast results by antagonism, often to accomplish a united end, through mutual co-operation, always per haps to complete a great cycle of operations and pheno mena, compensating the shortcomings of some by the re dundant powers bestowed on others. Thus was it .specially in that great period when Michael Angelo and Raphael were brought together, the more perfectly •to accomplish and describe the wide and completed circuit of a great art-cycle. The genius of the one formed a complementary arc to that of the other, so that whether taken as antagonistic or consecutive quantities, the circle iu its entire and continuous circumference was fully de scribed, and the domain of art thus enclosed withia the sweep of a ring-fence. Nature finding it not possible to unite the conflicting powers of a Michael Angelo and a Raphael in one and the same mind, apportioned to each a distinct labour and function, trusting that the result, when worked out, might not prove inharmonious or nugatory. The wisdom of this plan was justified in ihe sequence. The universality of genius thereby suffered limitation, in order that the universality of art might be established, and thus the gentle harmonies of Raphael came in to soften the abrupt dissonance of. Michael Angelo ; while again the terrine power of Michael Angelo threw vigour and intensity into the seraphic strains of Raphael's muse, and so within the circuit of the Vatican is found a Completed art, out of which the student may .form his perfected ideal—an art which seems to represent in its fulness the highest forms and faculties of man, and then rising above earth to people heaven itself." Dublin, University.—" The Cardinal Treaties of Mediaeval and Modern'History" present to noticelin this number " The Treatie3 of Paris and Huberts burgh,"- which took place in sixteen hundred and ninety-three. We are informed that the long - centuries of rivalry between France and Austria are broken by only one period of amity when they leagued together for the purpose of crushing the young power of Prussia in the " Seven Years' War," it is a curious fact to notice, however, that the consequence was to place the object of their hatred in the position of one of the first-rate powers of the world. It is interesting to notice the following epitome of the struggle : •' The treatises of Hubertsburg contain little more than stipulations for the mutual evacuation of countries and towns taken or occupied during the war. Not a foot of land in Europe changed owners ; though, accord. ing to the calculations of Frederic himself, the Russians had sacrificed 120,000 men, the Austrians 140,000, France 200,000, the English and their sllies 160,000, the Swedes 25,000, the German drcics 23,000, and the Prussians 213,000 in the war. But the seven Years' War in Germany—though the map of Europe showed no effects from it—was far from being a drawn game. He who had stood against such fearful odds, and had not fallen, was justly regarded as the victor ; and th, 1103- forth, both by contemporaries and by posterity, teas been recognised as Frederic the Great." The " Partners" is resumed this month, and a very exciting scene occurs in the portion here met with, the unfortunate victim of others' deceit and duplicity is assailed by many dangers, but he is left at last at liberty, as another has been seized in his place as a lunatic. The next instalment pro mises to be very eventful. "M‘Cormack's Grudge" is concluded in a very satisfactory manner. The suspected man proved the honesty of his intentions and the genuineness of his nature by rescuing, at great peril to himself, the child of the man who had wronged him from a frightful death. After so stormy an opening, it is satisfactory to take our last look at so peaceful a scene as Myles's reinstated home presents. "The Student" is a most melan choly story, and exemplifies the folly and wicked ness of laying down rules for all alike, as if diverse temperaments did not require different treatment, and as if peculiarly-gifted mindsdid notr, quire sym pathy instead of repulsion. " Tpm Brown's School days" is the subject of a paper which repays perusal. It regards that successful work iu a favourable light, and expresses a hope to meet Tom Brown again at Oxford or Cambridge. "He is one of the few companions who are as delight *ul as they are im proving." " The Tramping Artist" is a light and lively sketch, which retails some conversation on varying incidents in many lands, hero and there interspersed with a racy remark or an amusing anecdote. " From Rome—Home," furnishes the reader with the conclusion of the journey, which was completed in four weeks. The account of the adventures met with, and the description of the objects of sublimity and beauty which the travellers beheld, are on the whole ably rendered, and may edify those who delight in foreign gleanings. There are some verses among the contents, which, though pleasing, are none of them beyond average merit. Great praise is given to " Lord D ullerm's Yacht Voyage," and it is observed that " he has all but created an arctic summer, and given us one of the gayest narratives that ever beguiled a few shortened hours of our foggy winter." Fraser's Magazine. —A criticism on Mr. Water ton's third series of " Essays on Natural History" opens this number of Fraser. A little good humoured dissension from Mr. Waterton's some what didactic theology is mixed with the notice of the more scientific portion of the work. Those who like deep reading will be interested by a paper on recent meta physical works by G. H. Lewes, Frederick Maurice, and Dr. Fleming. Their different methods of reasoning and objects in writing are compared with skill and ingenuity. After render ing tribute to the historical value of Mr. Lewes' laborious work, the critic assails his theory and seeks to prove that the " positivism" he is so partial to, leads its follower to the dreary waste of atheism and bars the development is what he calls the Scotch deduces some striki ng After all the discusslious of all his Bigler faculties. The writerof evidently a partisan school, and certainly arguments in . its favour. and dissensions of these philosophers a good many readers will be of the opinion cf a, Scath blacksmith, mentioted in Dr. Fleming's loc , ok, who thus defined this disputed science—" Twa folk," said lie, " disputin' the gither, he that's listenin' doesna ken what'he that's speakin' means, and he . that's speakin' doema ken what he means' himsel—that's metaphysics." The clever and interesting story of "The Interpreter" is brought to a conclusion—. a fact which many of the readers of Fraser will be disposed to regret. Its not very approprate title does not give any idea of -the variety of its scenes and charact9p, the interest attaching to them, and the ability of the style. The conclusion is marked with some striking and unexpected events; - We hope to meet this writer again in the piges of Fraser. The recant volumes of the memorials and correspondence of Charles James Fox are criticised, and the editorship of Lord John Russell does not escape some severe strictures. "On the Use of Proverbs in Grave Composition," is the title of & singular paper, chiefly relating to the writings of Professor Blunt, and upholding- the authority of those pithy little sayings which embody, as has been happily observed, the wisdom of many in the wit of one. " The Englishman's - House - his - Castle Theory" is the name of the article which follows, and there is no occasion for the writer to sign him self " A Grumbler." Lord Normanby's recent work, "A year of Revolution," affords the subject foran in teresting paper on the state of France tee years ago. " India in Mourning " is an article dated from.the Punjaub, Sep . :, 29, and gives us a glimpse of the feelings of our countrymen in the East "It is the belief of every thinking man in India that th© British power will survive this convulsion but it is no less the conviction of every man in India, with his eyes open, that the present generation of Anglo- Indians may be swept off the face of the earth." This, it must be remembered, was before the news of the fall of Delhi. The following tribute is paid to the memory of Sir Henry Lawrence " Sir Henry Lawrence had that rare and happy faculty (which a man in almost every other respect unlike him, Sir Charles Napier, is said also to have possessed) of attaching hirnse'f to every one with whom he came in contact. He had that gift which is never acquired, a gracious, winning, noble manner ; rough and ready as lie was in the field, his manner in private life had an indescribable charm of frankness, grace, and e fen courtly dignity. He had that virtue which Englishmen instinctively and characteristically love—a lion-like courage. He had that fault which Englishmen so readily forgive, and, when mixed with what are felt to be its naturally concomitant good qualities, they,ahnost admire—a hot and impetuous temper ;be had,- in over flowing measure, that god-like grace which even the base revere, and the good acknowledge as the crown of vir tue—the grace of charity. No young officer ever sat at Sir Henry's table without learning to think more kindly of the natives ; no one, young or old; man or woman, ever heard Sir Henry speak of the European soldier, or ever visited the Lawrence Asylum, without being excited to a nobler and truer appreciation of the real extent of his duty towards his neighbour.. He was: one of the few distinguished Anglo-Indians who had attained to something like an English reputation in his lifetime. In a few years his name will be familiar to every reader of Indian history ; but for the present it is in India that his memory will be most deeply cherished ; it is by Anglo-Indians that any eulogy on him will he best appreciated ; it is by them that the institutions which he founded and maintained will be fostered as a' monument to his memory." A postcript at the end of the article announces that the joyful intelligence of General Wilson's complete victory had "lifted from the mind of every Eng lishman in India a cloud like the shadow of death." The poetical contributions to Fraser are not above mediocrity. Two of them are translations from the Italian, and the third, "A Summer Vision," is very incorrect in. its rhymes. Tresses and meshes, lustrous and wondrous window and shadow, mar the effect of a simple and pleasing poem. The United Service Magazine.—The first paper in this magazine is entitled " Thoughts relative to Military Requirements," and considers that suffi cient attention is not paid to military history. It is observed that while experience in the general is the great and only desideratum towards success, it is hardly contemplated as necessary that theory should form the groundwork of this experience, and that it is but reasonable to suppose that the art of war, like other arts, has a theory and begin ning, in which it behoves all military aspirants to be instructed in. In support of this argument the writez quotes the opinions of Napoleon :—" The principles of war are those which have regulated the great captains whose deeds have been handed down to us in history, Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar, Gus tavus Adolphus, Turenne, Prince E ugen e, Frederick the Great," &c. ; and " Tactics, evolutions, the science of the engineer and artillery officer, may be learned from treatises much in the same way as geometry ; but the knowledge of the higher branches of the art of war is only to be gained by experience, and by studying the history of the wars aud battles of great leaders." A second article on military re form and the army purchase commission censures severely the system of patronage and interest. An alteration in the penrions and allowances to officers' widows and families is also recommended. An interesting paper by Captain Spencer gives an account of the French conquest and occupation of Algeria. The history of the pirates of Algiers is briefly traced from the days of Barbarossa to the French victory in 183 . J. The subject is to be con tinued. "A Visit to the Teherna Morsky Cos sacks" proceeds with interest, and the " Notes of an Old Staff Officer" contain some interesting de tails of Belgian life and Government. A letter on the subject of the Indian arwy gives a list of causes which have lessened the value of the Company's service in the estimation of the Sepoys.' It is dated Ferozepore s and thoefore the writer has the authority of local knowledge for his suggestions. A paper on British cavalry recommends an alteration in the present method, with the view of obtaining " the greatest amount of lightness with the smallest sacrifice of equipment." It is further remarked that the want of interest in the men for their horses produces much evil. The description of the " Seats of Insurrection" is con tinued with interest. The exciting legends of the Black Watch, by James Grant, the well known author of the " Romance of War," proceed in their usual style. The narrative in the present number is a tale of one of those fearful lettres de cachet which were the inears of eo many secret crimes. [t is the story of a Scotch Major who was taken pri soner at Ticonderoga, and, through the jealousy of a French nobleman, was consigned to the dungeons of the Bastille for twenty-eight years, only to be re leased when age had whitened his hair and suffering had nearly deprived him of his faculties. Bentley's Miscellany. —A notice of the French narrative of Prince Napoleon's journey to the North gives a very amusing account of the Pari sian critics among the icebergs. "Midnight Doings" is the continuation of the story of " Moat Grange," commenced in the last number. Tho hero, Charles Dalrymple, having been the accidental cause of his father's death, gives up his engagement that he may not interfere with the fortunes of his mother and sisters. By way of further carrying out his laudable intentions, he comes up to London, becomes mixed with a set of gamblers, and drowns himself in the Thames : at least so it is implied, but a doubt is left on the reader's mind as to the certainty of the suicide. The last songs of Beranger afford en interesting yet mournful topic to Monkshood. Interesting as all concerning 'the vieux chanson icier must be, and mournful as showing the old !'man, even when nearing the last steps of the road along which we are hurried by the "vieux postil ion," can find nothing more joyful for his lyre than the recollections Of the plaisirr de vingt ans. A.nwher paper on French literature is kcriticism ou E lmonl About, which gives him great praise -for the high tone of morality in his works, and the ability with which they are written. Judging from the extracts, however, it appears there is still a little room for improvement in the selection of characters. Two papers, "The British Army," and "An Old Indian Officer on the Causes of the Indian Revolt," contain some remarks and sug geAions worthy of notice. " The Life of an Architect " is continued, and Mr. Dudley Costello's lengthy history of the naisdoings of the millionaire of Mincing-lane is brought to a conclusion. "The Calcutta Petition" is the title of a well-written paper on the present system of administration. The Mechanics.--This is a useful and interest ing number of a valuable magazine, which affords great facilities for the circulation and diffusion of scientific and mechanical knowledge. All the news connected with such subjects is given, and numerous letters from correspondents contain much interesting matter. In one of these an in ventor describes a new instrument for ascertain ing and comparing the intensities of light, which he proposes to call the Letoscope.
