MEMCAL L1ISMA1ISY T H E SCIOPTICON MANUAL, EXPLAINING LANTERN PROJECTIONS IN GENERAL, SCIOPTICON APPARATUS IN PARTICULAR. INCLUDING MAGIC LANTERN ATTACHMENTS, EXPERIMENTS, NOVELTIES, COLORED AND PHOTO-TRANSPARENCIES, MECHANICAL MOVEMENTS, ETC. BY L. J. MARCY, OPTICIAN, No. 1340 CHESTNUT STREET, PHILADELPHIA. SIXTH EDI.TI-O-N. PHILADELPHIA: JAMES A. MOORE, PRINTER, 1222 AND 1224 SANSOM STREET. 1877. Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1877, BT L. J. MARCY, In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D. C. PREFACE. YISIBLE illustrations are so highly esteemed among educationalists of the present day, that the announce- ment that a greatly improved form of Magic Lantern has made its appearance is very favorably received. Between a desire for such an instrument, and the lack of definite information concerning it, many very natu- rally manifest both their interest and their caution by searching letters of inquiry. The inventor has en- deavored, in hasty epistles, to state all the possibilities and impossibilities of the Sciopticon, and of lights, lenses, lantern slides, and tanks; but he finds it increasingly difficult to give each correspondent, individually, a full philosophical exposition. For such, therefore as desire a, more detailed account than can be given in a hasty letter, or than is contained in the circular, which it is always a pleasure to forward on application, a Sciopticon Manual has been prepared, to serve as a guide-book to bli iv PREFACE. the various interesting portions of the Magic Lantern Held in general, as well as to the Sciopticon in particular. It treats of the Optical Image without a lens, with a lens, in the camera obscura, in the eye, in the photo- and on the screen of the graphic camera, ; peculiarities of lenses, and the corrections required hy lenses; of the peculiarities of the Sciopticon, and its construction and management; of dissolving views, phantasmagoria, and the of lantern slides in all their of ghost ; variety ; photo- graphing slides by the wet-plate process, b}^ the dry-plate process, by Marcy's Photographic Printing Apparatus, by the Sciopticon, and other processes; of how to paint slides, and of ho\v to perform chemical experiment- to which is appended a catalogue, arranged to assist purchasers in making satisfactory selections. Thus this Manual may take the place of private cor- respondence to a considerable extent, allowing in let- ters more space for business, and tor an interchange of new ideas, with a view of making the Manual in subse- quent editions more interesting, and the Sciopticon more useful. It was at first my intention to give space to the sub- ject of chemical lights, but reflect ing that in this direc- tion there is no lack of printed matter, and that the in- terest felt in the Sciopticon is owing mainly to its giving PREFACE. results with little trouble, I have concluded to omit 1/n> gs, which would increase the bulk of the Manuul, without a corresponding addition to its usefulness. PREFACE TO FIFTH EDITION. THE lime light, in an improved form, having been in- troduced into the Sciopticon, it has become expedient to append to the Sciopticon Manual, a description of the apparatus and directions for its use. The demand for Lantern projections is steadily on the increase. A fine photograph (arid what can be finer?) projected upon a largo screen, before a thousand spec- tators, gives, it is safe to say, ten thousand times the satisfaction that one alone with his stereoscope receives from it. The appreciation is cumulative. "The more the merrier," is the philosophy of it. The Sciopticon with its oil lamp, rather than with its lime light, continues to be the choice of the many, be- cause its use is convenient and inexpensive. There are purposes and occasions however for which the lime light is a necessity. The gas therefore has now received its full share of attention. Much of the added matter is intended to assist those who have a Sciopticon, to pro- vide themselves with interesting objects for exhibition, without resort to a large assortment of exoensive slides. VI P li F ACE. PREFACE TO SIXTH EDITION. MARCY'S SCIOPTICON is now no new thing. It has taken its place as a standard projecting Lantern, and is accepted as a great advance in this direction. As it becomes better known, and less in need of explanations, the Sciopticon Manual might be contracted rather than enlarged, only that something more may be said to advantage of its new attachments and new uses. It will ba seen that the Triple Jet, the Gas Sciopticon, the Gas Microscope, etc., have been improved since the illustrations prepared for the Fifth Edition were drawn. The Automatic Cut-off is yet new to many, who will stand in need of a fuller explanation in print. The description and illustrations of the Franklin Insti- tute Gas Holders will interest Managers of Educational Institutions. It is believed that all who are alive to the advantages of photographic projections will find the Sciopticon Manual a valuable Hand-book. CONTENTS OF MANUAL. CHAPTER III.

    Dionysian Semiotics: Myco-Dendrolatry and Other Shamanic Motifs in the Myths and Rituals of the Phrygian Mother by Daniel Attrell A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Ancient Mediterranean Cultures Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2013 © Daniel Attrell 2013 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract The administration of initiation rites by an ecstatic specialist, now known to western scholarship by the general designation of ‗shaman‘, has proven to be one of humanity‘s oldest, most widespread, and continuous magico-religious traditions. At the heart of their initiatory rituals lay an ordeal – a metaphysical journey - almost ubiquitously brought on by the effects of a life-changing hallucinogenic drug experience. To guide their initiates, these shaman worked with a repertoire of locally acquired instruments, costumes, dances, and ecstasy-inducing substances. Among past Mediterranean cultures, Semitic and Indo-European, these sorts of initiation rites were vital to society‘s spiritual well-being. It was, however, the mystery schools of antiquity – organizations founded upon conserving the secrets of plant-lore, astrology, theurgy and mystical philosophy – which satisfied the role of the shaman in Greco-Roman society. The rites they delivered to the common individual were a form of ritualized ecstasy and they provided an orderly context for religiously-oriented intoxication.

    Making Lifelines from Frontlines; 1

    The Rhine and European Security in the Long Nineteenth Century Throughout history rivers have always been a source of life and of conflict. This book investigates the Central Commission for the Navigation of the Rhine’s (CCNR) efforts to secure the principle of freedom of navigation on Europe’s prime river. The book explores how the most fundamental change in the history of international river governance arose from European security concerns. It examines how the CCNR functioned as an ongoing experiment in reconciling national and common interests that contributed to the emergence of Eur- opean prosperity in the course of the long nineteenth century. In so doing, it shows that modern conceptions and practices of security cannot be under- stood without accounting for prosperity considerations and prosperity poli- cies. Incorporating research from archives in Great Britain, Germany, and the Netherlands, as well as the recently opened CCNR archives in France, this study operationalises a truly transnational perspective that effectively opens the black box of the oldest and still existing international organisation in the world in its first centenary. In showing how security-prosperity considerations were a driving force in the unfolding of Europe’s prime river in the nineteenth century, it is of interest to scholars of politics and history, including the history of international rela- tions, European history, transnational history and the history of security, as well as those with an interest in current themes and debates about transboundary water governance. Joep Schenk is lecturer at the History of International Relations section at Utrecht University, Netherlands. He worked as a post-doctoral fellow within an ERC-funded project on the making of a security culture in Europe in the nineteenth century and is currently researching international environmental cooperation and competition in historical perspective.

    396 a Summer in Phrygia: I

    396 A SUMMER IN PHRYGIA: I, A SUMMER IN PHRYGIA: I. [PLATE XII.] DURING the summer of 1897 I had the opportunity of making extensive exploration in Phrygia, and the following paper gives, as a first instalment, an account of the more important results of the season's work there. I have given a map (Plate XII) based on the Ottoman Railway Survey to illustrate the watercourses of the Laodiceian district, but I regret that a map to show the new sites has had to be deferred. At the outset I must make acknow- ledgment of the valuable help I have received from Prof. W. M. Ramsay, who has kindly sent me some criticisms and suggestions. For the numerous references to his volumes on Phrygia no apology is necessary. Every student of its history must use his brilliant pages as the basis of his study; and the work of the explorer in the districts which they cover must naturally be to endeavour to amplify the information, and to confirm or correct the views, which he finds there. Few parts of Phrygia have been so frequently traversed as the Lycos valley with the adjacent Carian and Lydian frontiers: yet anyone who studies this district will be astonished at the number of unsolved problems which it presents. To begin with the Carian borderland and go round the valley of the Lycos, the first problem that confronts us is the site of KIDRAMOS, a city without annals, but important enough to possess a coinage of its own, at least from the time of Augustus to that of Julia Maesa.
