Extract from a letter:
Sir David Brewster read an extract from a letter he had received
from Herbert McLeod Esq, President of the Royal College of
Chemistry, London, in which he called the attention of Sir David to
experiments which had been made for producing a photographic
impression by the light emitted by the combination of a mixture of
nitric oxide with the vapour of sulphide of carbon. |
