The President and members of the Committee of the Victorian Exhibition take this opportunity of tendering their humble and grateful thanks to Her Majesty The Queen for her gracious patronage of the Exhibition and for" the very generous contribution she has permitted to be made from the Royal Collections ; also to H.R.H. The Prince of Wales for the active and personal assistance he has afforded the Committee ; and to the other members of the Royal Family for valuable contributions in the several departments of the Exhibition. They would further desire to thank all those who have so kindly responded to their call, and have rendered the Exhibition possible by intrusting so many valuable works to their care. The Committee have to express their gratitude to Mr. Isidore Spielmann, Hvho, within the limited space at his disposal, has brought together an viii Prefatory Note. interesting series of objects illustrating the progress ol scientific discovery^ during Her Majesty's reign. The Committee are sensible that such a. collection must of necessity be fragmentary and incomplete, but they believe that the arrangement adopted by Mr. Spielmann presents, by means of a series of striking contrasts, some of the principal achievements in this department. The Committee have further to offer their thanks to Mr. H. A. Grueber, to whom they are indebted for valuable help in the organization of the Exhibi- tion, and especially for his arduous labours in the compilation of the Catalogue, which he has furnished with biographical notices of the personages whose portraits are represented on the walls ; to Mr. and Mrs. H. Jenner, who have supplied the notes on the manuscripts and autographs ; to Mr. L. G. Holland, and Mrs. Grueber, for assistance in the arrangement of the collections ,^ and to Mr. Leonard C. Lindsay, the Secretary of the Victorian Exhibi- tion, for his continued and valuable services in the organization of every department. The Exhibition will be open to the public till the beginning of April, from 10 to 6 daily. The present collection completes the series of Exhibitions illustrative of our National History, and during the winter of next year the Directors of the New Gallery hope to present the first of a new series of Exhibitions designed to illustrate the history of several of the great cities of Europe which have, been distinguished as art centres. FIFTY YEARS OF HER MAJESTY'S REIGN. In the year 18S7 there appeared so many books, pamphlets, and articles setting forth with so much creditable enthusiasm the glories of the fifty years which were then commemorated, that it is quite unnecessary in this place to repeat what that time of rejoicing has already made familiar. Suffice it to say that the fifty years from 1837 to 1887 formed a period so eventful and so changeful in every matter which concerns political and social life both at home and abroad, that even the preceding half-centur>-, which included, among other things, the whole of the first Revolution and of the Napoleonic rise and fall, will not excel it in the prospective interest of the future historian. The subjects to which this Exhibition relates are representative of all those matters which go to make up history. These include the chief events in the private life of the Royal Family which are of such abiding public interest, the different changes of political administration, the development of the con- stitution of the country, the progress in science, art, literature, and industries, the wars, and the social changes of the nation. The subjects are illustrated chiefly by portraits, relics, and autographs of those who took the principal part in the events of the period. As biographies of these persons appear in the body of the catalogue, the object of this introductor>- note will be limited to a very short account of the chief events themselves under their principal headings The Governme^'T.— At the time of the accession of Queen Victoria the Whigs, or Liberals (as they were just beginning to be called), were in power :x Fifiy Years of Her Majesty's Reign. under the leadership of Lord Melbourne. The General Election of 1837 made no change, but in 1839 the Government was defeated on the Jamaica Bill. Lord Melbourne resigned, and Sir Robert Peel made an unsuccessful attempt to form a Ministry; in consequence Lord Melbourne continued in power till after the General Election of 1841, when he was defeated on the Address. Sir Robert Peel then became Prime Minister, and abandoned Protection and declared for a modified form of Free Trade. Almost immediately after the final passing of the Corn Importation Act in June, 1846, he was defeated on an Irish Coercion Bill, and retired from office. His place was taken by Lord John Russell at the head of a Liberal Ministry, which continued in power till February, 1852, when, after introducing a Reform Bill which never got beyond its first reading, it was defeated on a Militia Bill. Lord Derby now became Prime Minister, with a not very strong Conservative Government, which went out in the following December on the House Tax question. This was followed by a Coalition Ministry under Lord Aberdeen. This Government met with misfortune over the Crimean War, and was defeated in January, 1855, on Mr. Roebuck's motion to inquire into the conduct of the war. Then for the first time Lord Palmerston, who for a lifetime had been eminent as a statesman, became Prime Minister, and his first term of office lasted until, in February, 1858, he was defeated on the Conspiracy to Murder Bill, brought in in conse- quence of Orsini's attempt on the life of Napoleon III. Another short Derby Administration followed, but was defeated on a vote of want of confidence after the General Election of 1859, when Palmerston's second Government began. This continued until the death of Lord Palmerston in October, 1865. Lord Russell took his place for a short time, tried another Reform Bill, and was defeated on Lord Dunkellin's amendment to it in June, 1866. For the third time Lord Derby became Premier, and continued in office for the short remainder of his political career, resigning (on account of ill health) in 1868. During this short period a Reform agitation was fomented, and in con- sequence of this a second Reform Act, introducing Household and Lodger Franchise, was passed by Mr. Disraeli in 1867. Mr. Disraeli took Lord Derby's place on his retirement, but himself retired after the adverse Fifty Years af Her Majesty s Reign. xi verdict of the General Election of October, 1868. From that time until the death of Lord Beaconsfield in March, 1881, the party politics of England resolved themselves into a contest between Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Disraeli. Mr. Gladstone's first Government lasted from 1868 until the General Election of 1874, when it was defeated. A Conservative Government under Mr. Disraeli followed, which continued in power through the difficult times of the Bulgarian question, the Berlin treaty, and the Affghan War. One of the most notable events of this administration of Mr. Disraeli was the proclamation of the Queen as Empress of India. The next General Election declared against the Conservatives, and Mr. Gladstone, with an advanced Radical following, began his second term of office, which con- ^tinued till 1885. After a short-lived Government under Lord Salisbury in that year, and a still shorter under Mr. Gladstone in 1886, the General Election of 1886, turning on the question of Home Rule for Ireland, placed a mixed party of Conservatives and Liberal Unionists in power, where they have since continued. Wars. — The reign of Queen Victoria has been by no means peaceful. Two large and some fifteen small wars form a considerable total for fifty years. In the very first year occurred the not very serious Canadian rebellion, an attempt at independence on the part of the French and half- bred Canadians, encouraged to some extent by the United States. The one striking incident of the burning of the steamship Caroline on the Niagara river in December 1837 is the only memorable event in this rebellion, which was finally suppressed in November, 1838. The next little war was the disastrous Affghan affair of 1839. After considerable success at first, and an occupation of Candahar and Cabul, the English troops had to retreat from Cabul in January 1842, and were cut to pieces in the Khoord Cabul Pass on the way to India. A small Kaffir war at the Cape occurred in 1850 and 185 1, after a good deal of desultory trouble with the natives, and shortly after, in 1851, occurred the Burmese expedition to Rangoon, Bassein and Pegu. This ended in July, 1852. Then came the first great war since 1815. In the latter part of 1853, Russia declared war on Turkey on a variety of pretexts, but probably choosing the time in consequence of the completion xii Fifty Years of He?' Majesty s Reign. of the prophetic period of four hundred years' occupation of Constantinople by the Turks. Great Britain, on account of her interests in the East, and France, for the purpose of strengthening Napoleon's throne, took the part of the Turks, and after some success of Russia, including the destruction oi the Turkish fleet at Sinope in November, 1853, the Crimean War began by the landing of the allied troops on the 14th of September, 1854. The victory of the Alma followed on the 20th of September, the not very decisive cavalry battle of Balaclava, with its two memorable charges on the 25th of October, and the "soldiers' battle" of Inkerman on the 5th of November. Then came the long and weary siege of Sebastopol, which ended in September, 1855, and peace was finally made in April 1856. The country had hardh' recovered from the Crimean War when the news of the Indian Sepoy Mutiny came upon it. The native troops, who had for some time been discontented, broke out into rebellion in April, 1857, beginning with a failure at Moorshedabad, but succeeding at Meerut and Delhi in May,, and at Cawnpore and Allahabad shortly after. The heroic defence of Luck- now for eighty-seven days under Sir Henry Lawrence, and the skill and daring of Sir Henry Havelock and Sir Colin Campbell, and many others, soon produced their effects, and after a terrible struggle of some twenty months the rebellion was finally suppressed in December, 1858. A little war with Persia on the question of independence of Herat had intervened between the Crimean War and the mutiny in November, 1856, hardly noticed in the presence of such much greater events. In i860 came the short Chinese war, resulting in the taking of Pekin and the memorable sack of the Summer Palace. There had been occasional trouble with the Maories of New Zealand, and a not inconsiderable struggle with them lasted from 1843 to 1845. In 1863, however, a good deal more difficulty occurred, owing to the " Hau-Hau " rebellion and the starting of a wild new religion of mixed Christianity and Paganism known as " Pai Mariri." After some very difficult bush fighting the war ev^entually came to an end in 1866. The next war was in Abyssinia. Theodore, the half-savage king of that country, kept certain missionaries and other Europeans prisoners, and in 1868, Sir Robert Napier, afterwards Lord Napier of Magdala, was sent with an army to rescue them Fifty Years of Her Majesty s Reign. xiu and punish the king. After a very short and entirely successful campaign, Mao-dala the capital, was taken, the Europeans were rescued, and Theodore killed Then came the Ashantee war on the west coast of Africa in 1S74, with Sir Garnet, afterward Lord, Wolseley's expedition to Coomassie. Of the next two wars, one was in South Africa in 1879 against the Zulus under their king Cetewayo. At first the English forces met with disaster, the -4th Regiment being almost utterly destroyed at Isandlana. One incident in the campaign was the death of Prince Louis Napoleon, son of Napoleon III., who had joined the English troops with the object of obtaining some warlike experience and military glory. After a decisive defeat of the Zulus at Ulundi by Lord Chelmsford on the 4th of July, 1879, the war was brought to a close. Almost simultaneous with the Zulu war was the second Affghan war. In November, 1878, an expedition was sent under General Roberts to Affghanistan. He defeated the Ameer at the Piewar Pass on the ist of December, took Candahar on the 9th of January, 1879, and in May Yakub Khan arrived at the English Camp, the treaty of Gundamuk was concluded, and the war ended. It was renewed, however, in September, when Sir Louis Cavagnari, who had been sent with a small escort to Cabul, was with his party murdered by the Affghans. Cabul was occupied by General Roberts in October, and held during the winter. Candahar, besieged by Yakub Khan, was relieved in August, 1880, after a magnificent march of three hundred miles in twenty days. In April, 1881, the English troops were withdrawn from Candahar. In 1877 the Dutch Republic of the Transvaal had been annexed by Great Britain. In 1880 the Boers of the Transvaal attempted to regain their independence, and after defeating the English troops under Sir G. Colley at Lang's Neck in December, 1880, and at Majuba Hill on the 27th of March, 1881, succeeded in freeing themselves. For some time there had been threatening difficulties in Egypt, owing to the condition of the finance of the country. In September, 1881, occurred a rising of Egyptian troops under Achmet Arabi Bey, who ultimately became Secretary of War to the Khedive. Owing to the refusal of Arabi to dis- continue certain forts at the mouth of the Nile, the English fleet, under Sir Beauchamp Seymour (now Lord Alcester) bombarded Alexandria on the xiv Fifty Years of Her Majesty's Reign. 1 1 th of July, 1882, and the Egyptian war began. The campaign was short and sharp, being practically decided by two battles, Kassassin on the 28th of August, where the English troops, including for the first time since 18 15 the Household Cavalry, were led by General Graham, and Tel-el-Kebir on the 13th of September under Sir Garnet Wolseley. Meanwhile the Mahdi,. Mohammed Achmet, had been working in the Soudan. Hicks Pasha led an Egyptian force against him in September, 1883, but was surrounded and cut to pieces in the desert near Khartoum. This city was then defended by Colonel Coetlogon. General Gordon, who had been invited by the King of the Belgians to administer the Congo State, was sent to Khartoum by the English Government with full powers from the Khedive. He entered the city on the i8th of February 1884, and remained there until the 26th of January, 1885, when Faraz Pasha betrayed Khartoum to the Mahdi and Gordon was killed. An expedition sent to relieve him arrived too late. The Egyptian gendarmerie, under Baker Pasha, and two British expeditions from Suakim failed to suppress the rebellion, and the Soudan was finally abandoned to the Mahdi, who died in June, 1885. In the following November, 1885, occurred the war in Burmah against King Thebaw. Though this may be counted as one of England's " little wars," it nevertheless produced the annexation of a very large territory to the Empire, a territory quite disproportionate to the interest which was excited. Ecclesiastical Affairs. — In 1837 the position of the Church of Eng- land was distinctly critical. The Tithe Commutation Act had just been passed, the Ecclesiastical Commission had just been formed, the Tractarian movement, which may be said to date from John Keble's sermon on " National Apostasy" in 1833, ^^^s fairly started, and an anti-Church Liberal movement,, mixed with Anti-Corn Law agitation, had been among the results of the Reform Act of 1832. The most important events of the Tractarian move- ment took place after the beginning of the reign. It was in 1841 that Tract XC. appeared, and Newman found himself in the front rank of the struggle. In 1843 Pusey preached his sermon on the Eucharist, and Ward wrote his Ideal of a Christian Church. At the same time arose the corresponding Cambridge movement, which imported an aesthetic element into the " Catholic revival," Fifty Years of Her Majesty s Reign. xv and was answerable for the amalgamation of Tractarianism and Ritualism. In 1842 the Cambridge Camden Society, afterwards the Ecclesiological Society, was founded, and this for many years kept up the work of adding to the revival of Catholic doctrine, a revival of mediaeval architecture, ritual and music. Between 1840 and 1850 the progress and popularity'of the movement were much impeded by many secessions to the Roman Church, and among the losses of the period the most notable was that of Dr. J. H. Newman, after- wards Cardinal. At the same time began another and not less important development in the rise of the " Broad Church " school. Founded by Thomas Arnold, Whately, and Hampden, and receiving great access of strength from Kingsley, F. D. Maurice, and Stanley, it continued to increase in spite of all opposition until it formed a very definite third party in the Church. The burning questions started by these parties naturally resulted in a number of ecclesiastical causes aTebres, of which the principal were the Gorham case in 1849-50, on the subject of baptismal regeneration, the Liddell case in 1855-6, the Mackonochie case in 1867-6S, the Purchas case in 1868-71, and the Ridsdale case in 1877-8, on the subject of "Ritualistic Practices," the Poole case in 1858-9 on confession, the Bennett case in 1870, on the doctrine of the Holy Eucharist, the Essays and Revieivs case in 1864, on the doctrines of eternal punishment and the inspiration of Scripture, and the Colenso case in 1 862, 'on the authority of the Pentateuch and Book of Joshua. Since the beginning of the reign four Primates (besides the present) have occupied the See of Canterbury. Of these the first three, Howley, Sumner, and Longley, did little to mark their episcopates. To the fourth, Tait, is due much of the more recent revival of energy in the Church of England, and more especially the stronger cementing of the bonds which unite the Church of England with the Scottish, American, and Colonial branches of the same communion, as well as a great deal of the organization of work in the Church at home. The system of periodical "Pan-Anglican" Synods, though begun in 1867 under his predecessor, also owes most of its efficiency to his management. Of the religious bodies apart from the Established Church, the onl>^ one which has had any history of importance during the present reign. xvi Fifty Years of Her Majesty s Reign. is the Roman Catholic Church. In 1837 the Roman Church in England was poor and obscure, and had remained ever since the Reformation under the makeshift rule of arch-priests and vicars-apostolic. In 1850, Pius IX. established a Roman Catholic hierarchy in England, consisting •of an Archbishop of Westminster and eight Bishops, six other suffragan sees being added at later dates, Nicholas Wiseman, afterwards Cardinal, the Vicar-Apostolic of the London district, being the first Archbishop. This caused great excitement in England, called forth the celebrated "Durham Letter" of Lord John Russell, and resulted in a piece of ■exceptional legislation, the " Ecclesiastical Titles Act," a law which produced absolutely no effect. Since that time the progress of the Roman Church in England has been very marked, and the number of churches, monasteries, and clergy has very greatly increased, more especially since, and perhaps to some extent in consequence of, the treatment which the religious orders have received from continental governments. Literature. — In Literature the reign began rather badly. The great writers of the later Guelphic period were either dead or exhausted, and with a few exceptions those who will place the Victorian era in the minds 'of future literary historians on an equality with that so-called Elizabethan era (which is more really Jacobean) had hardly begun. But in a few years there came a change, and the twenty years from 1848 to 1868 were most prolific in works of the highest order. It was surely a golden age of literature when Carlyle, Macaulay, Grote, Hallam, Alison, Milman, and Froude were writing history, Tennyson, Swinburne, Rossetti, and the two Brownings, poetry, Ruskin, art criticism, Thackeray, Dickens, Kingsley, Trollope, Char- lotte Bronte, Lever, Reade, George Eliot, Lytton, Wilkie Collins, and Mrs. Gaskell, novels, all at the same time. In the same twelve months (1852-3) appeared Esmond, Bleak House, My Novel, V illette, Ruth, Christie Johnstone, and The Heir of Redclyffe. In 1855 appeared two volumes of Macaulay's History of England, the final volume of Grote's History of Greece, Herbert Spencer's Principles of Psychology, G, H. Lewes's Life of Goethe, The Newconies, IVestzvard Ho, The Warden, Maud, and Men and Women, and for several years the lovers of literature were in luck. Thackeray died in Fifty Years of Her Majesty s Reion. xvii 1863, Dickens in 1870, Kingsley in 1875 ; and, save for the few that are happily still with us, one by one the earlier lights went out. Another generation has succeeded to these giants of the time of our youth, and of that generation it will be time to speak when an Exhibition of the second Victorian era is undertaken. Till then comparisons are for obvious reasons odious. Art. — This is obviously not the place to attempt any general estimate of the progress of art in England during the chosen period of Her Majesty's reign. The contents of the Exhibition suffice to illustrate some of the capital achievements of our painters in the domain of portraiture, and in the list of these portraits will be found the names of men who have themselves been foremost workers in the field of art. But to do justice to the notable revival of imaginative design, which the past fifty years has witnessed, would involve the discussion of the work of others, who are happily still living amongst us. Nor would it come within the scope of our present task to attempt to picture that wider movement in public taste, which has found expression in architecture and sculpture, in furniture and decoration, or in the kindred arts of music and the drama. Science. — It is, of course, impossible in a few words to furnish even an outline sketch of the progress of science between the years 1837 and 1887 ; nor is there space in which to dwell upon the " molecular" doctrine of the constitution of matter, the conservation of energy, or of evolution, which modern science is considered to have established. All that can be attempted is a brief enumeration of the most striking inventions and the development of those peculiar to the Victorian Era. In almost every branch of scientific research a remarkable advance has been achieved, but it is no easy task to select the most important of them for special consideration. If, however, the prosperity of the period may be attributed to the advancement of science, then railway and steamship communication and postal and telegraphic facilities are, perhaps, more directly responsible. The year 1837 saw a great development in rail- way construction, and the enterprise grew each )ear until 1846, when nearly 5000 miles were constructed, since when the country has been covered xviii Fifty y\'ars of Her Majesty s Reign. by a complete network of railways. In 1837 about 200 miles had been opened for traffic ; in 1887 about 20,000. In 1837 ^^e speed of long-distance trains was about 19 miles an hour ; in 1887 it frequently attained 55 miles an hour. Improvements have been made in railway construction by the em- ployment of heavy steel rails, which permit of heavier locomotives with longer running power. These locomotives also combine many improve- ments, developing greater efficiency for fuel consumed. During the same period, shipping has likewise undergone a complete change. Steamships have superseded sailing vessels, and iron and steel have supplanted wood in construction. In the early part of the reign, steamships of low tonnage and horse-power were employed to carry the mails across the seas, and their success in this service was the cause of rapid development. In 1837 the British steam tonnage amounted to about 400,000; in 1887 it represented about 40,000,000. The same changes in construction of steel for wood, and steam power for sails apply to the ships in the Ro}'al Navy. In an article upon this subject Lord Brassey states that the navy list of 1837 consisted of 129 vessels (practically sailing ships only). The displacement of the largest ship was 4,000 tons. The Navy List of 1887 contained 191 men-of-war, the largest displacement being 12,000 tons, and plated with nearly 2 feet of steel armour. In connection with the navy, torpedo boats must be mentioned as an invention of the reign. The engines of modern steamships have also undergone vast improvement since 1837, and do not now consume more than one-fifth of the amount of fuel they did for the power obtained. In 1837 ^ f'£^^' ships carried some 42-pounders, but more often 32-pounders ; in 1887, no, 80, and 67-ton guns were mounted on our most powerful ships in the navy. Before the introduction of the Postal Reform by Sir Rowland Hill in 1837, the postal arrangements were most defective. The cost for sending a letter by post was from A^d. to \s. Zd. ; while its delivery was uncertain. In 1839 the charge was fixed at id., and the use of adhesive stamps was introduced in 1840. In 1837, 80,000,000 letters were delivered; in 1887 upwards of 1 ,400,000,000. Fifty Years of Her Majesty's Reign. xix The year 1837 also saw the introduction of the electric telegraph, and im- mediately afterwards lines were laid about 20 miles in length. In 1887 about 40,000,000 telegrams were despatched. The first submarine cable was laid between Dover and Calais in 185 1, and in 1887 it was computed that 250,000 miles of cable connected England with foreign countries. In civil engineering many remarkable works have been constructed during the first 50 years of the Queen's reign, and perhaps the most remarkable during the latter portion of it. Among these may be mentioned the Forth Bridge, the Manchester Ship Canal, and the Severn Tunnel. In mechanical engineering great improvements have been made in land and marine engines, in cotton machinery and in plant of every description, in instruments of precision, and in labour-saving appliances. Similarly in agricultural engineering, vast strides have been made by the introduction of the steam plough, the reaping and mowing machine, the steam threshing machine, and so forth ; while in sanitary engineering fully equal progress has been effected. The advance of electrical knowledge and its influence upon other branches of science is no less astonishing. The electric light, although not yet generally adopted, has developed with like rapidity and has taken its place as a new industry. The same must also be said of the telephone, which in a comparatively short space of time has firmly established itself The invention of the microphone and the phonograph must also be recorded, although the latter is not of English origin. Very much might be said of the iron and steel industries, but it is only possible to remark here that they have kept pace with all other branches of science. Besides the increased production of metal for fuel consumed, a most notable feature is the substitution of steel for iron in the manufacture of rails, plates for ships, girders, &c. In Surgery, Medicine, and Dentistry much has been accomplished for restoring health and saving pain, whilst anaesthetics may be recorded as another discovery of the present reign. The spectroscope has developed the " new astronomy," and photography may perhaps be specially mentioned as a creation of the Victorian era. The XX Fifty Years of Her Majesty s Rei^n. daguerreotype process was costly and inartistic, but in the hands of some of the scientists of the early part of the reign, photography soon made head- way, and has now been brought to a state of perfection. In labour-saving appliances, the sewing-machine must be mentioned as another new industry. Improved apparatus for saving life from fire and sea, as well as that used in chemical, geological, anthropological, astronomical, and other scientific research, are so numerous that they cannot here be referred to ; but they have done their share in the revolution of science which has taken place between 1837 and 1887. It is to be regretted that some objects demonstrating this period could not find a place in the Galler}- in consequence of their size, while some, of the utmost importance, could not be obtained, as their owners were dis- inclined to part with them. Nevertheless, enough has been brought together to afford some idea of the astonishing, progress of science during the first fifty years of Her Majesty's reign.

After 1 818, Wellington turned his attention to politics, and in 1828 was called upon by George IV. to form an administration. His opposition to Reform made him very un- popular, and he resigned office in 1830.

Four line wires were first necessary, and this number was shortly afterwards reduced. A sensation was created at the time by the first arrest of a murderer (Tawell at Paddington) by means of the electric telegraph, when this instrument was used. Lent by The General Post Office. 976. Wheatstone's Modern Automatic System, 1887. In all automatic systems the messages must first be prepared on a slip of paper. This work is done by means of a machine called a " perforator," operated by a clerk. The Morse characters are perforated along the slip which is afterwards passed through the transmitter. The transmitter is an instrument arranged to do mechanically, and at a much greater speed, exactly what is done by the hand-worked keys. The strip of perforated paper regulates the movement of the contact levers, deter- mining when currents shall pass to line in the same manner as the perforations in the cards of the jacquard loom determine the lifting of the thread of the warps. The signals appear at the receiving points in the ordinary dots and dashes of the Morse code. The apparatus is most useful as a means of transmitting news, speeches, &c., and during a general breakdown of the wires. The speed of the apparatus has been raised from 100 to 400 words per minute in the hands of the Post Office, and a speed of over 600 words per minute has been attained between London and Bristol.

The telephone was invented by Professor Graham Bell in 1876, by which vocal com- munication may be made through a considerable length of wire by means of an electric current generated by the voice in one phone, and reproduced in the other. The switch bell attached is used simply for calling purposes by means of a battery, and to switch the line from the call-bell to the phones when communication is desired. Lent by The National Telephone Company. 983. Latest Form of Telephone, 1887. The transmitter was invented by Mr. Edison in 1877, and modified by Professor Blake in 1878. This combines the receivers, transmitters, and magneto^call-bell. In this telephone the use of carbon and a battery allows of stronger current, and consequently of greater distance in communication. The switch bell is a magneto generator, and dispenses with a battery for calling purposes. Lent by The National Telephone Company. 984.

Edison's Phonograph (or Sound-recorder) is an instrument which reproduces, by mechanical means, speech or sounds once made into it and repeats them as often as required. Lent by The Edison United Phonograph Company. 1027. One of the Earliest Phonographs, the record of the sounds being taken upon tin-foil, and the machine being worked by hand. This was the form of the Phonograph when first exhibited to the public in 1878. Lent by The Edison United Phonograph Compant. 1028. The First of Edison's Perfected Phonographs, 1887.

First known Photograph on Glass, taken on precipitated silver chloride, by Sir J. Herschel, Bart., 1839. From this negative Exhibit 1034 was taken. This represents a photographic view of the 40 ft. Telescope before demolition. " Having precipitated muriate of silver in a very delicately divided state from water very slightly muriated, it was allowed to settle on a glass plate ; after 48 hours it had formed a film thin enough to bear drawing the water off very slowly by a siphon, and drying. Having dried it I found that it was very little affected by light, but with washmg with weak nitrate of silver and drying it became highly sensitive. In this state I took a camera picture of the telescope on it. Hyposulph. soda then poured cautiously down washes away the muriate of silver, and leaves a beautiful delicate film of silver representing the picture. If then the other side of the glass be smoked and black varnished, the effect is much resembling daguerreotype, being dark on white as in nature, and also right and left as in nature, and as if on polished silver."— Sir J.
