But ve shall see in the progress of our discussion here, like many other assumptions of their authors, that claim is unfounded, and they are due no more credit than for the invention of the steamboat or the cotton gin. The English claim is founded upon the fact that, in 1802, a Mr. Wedgwood recorded and [an] experiment in the "Journal of the Royal Insitiution", [Institution",] as follows: "A piece of paper, or other convenient material, was placed upon a. frame and sponged over with a solution of nitrate of silvedr; [silver:] it vas then placed behind a painting on glass and the light traversing the painting produced a kind of copy upon the prepared paper, those parts in which the rays were least intercepted veing [being] of the darkest hues. Here, however, terminated the experiment; for although both Mr. Vedguood and Sir Humphry Davey experimanted [experimented] carefully, for tehe [the] purpose of endeavoring to fix the drawings thus obtained[,] yet the object could not be accomplished, and the wholer [whole] ended in failure." This, by their om shoving, vas the earliest attempt of the English experimenters. But this mich [much] of the principle was known to the alchemists at a much earlier date, although the experiment vas carried out ina practically different manner, as teh [the] following description amply proves: "Dissolve chalk in aquafortis to the consistency of milk, and add to it a strong solution of silver; keep this liquor in a glass bottle well stopped; tehn [then] cutting out from a piece of paper the letters you vould have appear[,] paste it on the decanter, and lay it n [in] theTyping Test completed | 624/2017 | Typing Tr Page? a> a> a> a> a> a> a> 2> a> a> a> a> a> a> a> a> sun's rays in such a manner thet the rays amy [may] pass through the spaces cut out of the paper and fall on teh [the] surface of the liquor teh [the] part of the glass through which the rays pass wil [will] be turned black, while tha [that] under the paper remains white; but particular care must be observed tha [that] the bottle be not moved during the operation.” The alchemsts [alchemists] became so intent on discovering the far-femed philosopher's stone that they were unmindful of the accidental occurrence of more valueble discoveries. If they had not, then this little experiment in dhemistry [chemistry] might have induced them to conduct a more ghorough [thorough] search into tha [the] principle. In that case, photogenic art would not now be claimed as a new discovery. Many individuals even assert that the Jugglers of India possessed a great secret for quite some tine, a secet [secret] by which tehy [they] vere enabled, in a brief space, to copy the likeness of ant [any] individual by the action of light. This fact, if it is tuly [truly] fact and not a myth, may account for the celebrated magic mirrors said to be possessed by these juglers, anmd [and] it was the probable cause of their power over the rest of the people. Hovever, as early as 1556 experimenters established, as fact, that a combination of chloride and silver, called horn silver, from its appearance, could become blackend [blackened] by eh [the] sun's rays. Then, in the latter part of eh [the] last century, a Mrs. Fulhame published an experiment by she effected a change in color of gold chloride, also by means of Ligh.
