Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science, Vol. 33: Fifth Series; January-June, 1892
The work has been greatly retarded by want of sunshine. In order to be more independent, I tried to work at the Royal Institution by the electric light. But it appeared impossible to make any observations of value on account of the tremor by which London is pervaded. Moreover the arc-light is very inferior to sunshine for such a purpose.
