"Mr. Muybridge exhibited a large number of photographs of horses galloping, leaping, etc.... By the aid of an astonishing apparatus called a ZOOPRAXISCOPE, which may be briefly described as a magic lantern run mad (with method in the madness), the animals walked, cantered, ambled, galloped, and leaped over hurdles in a perfectly natural and lifelike manner. I am afraid that, had Muybridge exhibited his ZOOPRAXISCOPE three hundred years ago, he would have been burned as a wizard.... After the horses came dogs, deer, and wild bulls. Finally man appeared (in instantaneous photography) on the scene, and ran, leaped, and turned back somersaults to admiration."--GEORGE AUGUSTUS SALA in _Illustrated London News_. [Illustration: 3. ATHLETES RUNNING.] "Both scientific and artistic circles in London are at present greatly interested in the triumphs of Mr. Eadweard Muybridge in photographing the successive phases of animal movements. Our leading biologists and artists have at once perceived and acknowledged the vast importance of the results of his work."--_The Times, London._ [Illustration: 5. ATHLETE, RUNNING HIGH JUMP.] "The Archbishop of York occupied the chair.... His Grace congratulated the crowded and distinguished audience on the opportunity afforded them of hearing Mr. Muybridge, and said that to everybody who felt an interest in the phenomena of motion, the magnificent results of the investigation carried on by Mr. Muybridge and the University of Pennsylvania were wonderfully instructive."--_York Herald._ "His audiences have been drawn from the very first ranks of art, science, and fashion."--_British Journal of Photography._ [Illustration: 6. ATHLETE, STANDING LONG JUMP.] "These demonstrations are marvellously complete, ... exceedingly abundant and rich in suggestion and instruction, and appeal to almost every class or condition of humanity."--_Saturday Review, London._ "Mr. Muybridge delighted his audience with his wonderful photographs."--_The Times, London._ "... Last night Mr. Muybridge gave his final lecture in Newcastle on 'The Science of Animal Locomotion,' with the whole of the wonderful illustrations; the Art Gallery being again crowded to excess."--_Newcastle Chronicle._ [Illustration: 11. ATHLETES. BASE BALL; BATTING.] "A photographic achievement which seemed to me at the time scarce credible, and which I was presently assured by one of our ablest English photographers was absolutely outside the bounds of possibility."--PROFESSOR R. A. PROCTOR in the _Gentleman's Magazine_. "At the conversazione of the Royal Society much interest was excited by Mr. Eadweard Muybridge's lecture. The ZOOPRAXISCOPE afforded the spectator an opportunity of studying by synthesis, the facts of motion which are also demonstrated by analysis."--_Illustrated London News._ [Illustration: 14. BOYS PLAYING LEAP-FROG.] "A really marvellous series of plates."--_Nature, London._
