Abstract
LONDON.
Mathematical Society, March 9.—Mr. A. B. Basset, F.R.S., Vice-President, in the chair.—Mr. T. J. Dewar exhibited, with the aid of a stereoscope, twenty stereographs of the regular solids. These were not photographs of a solid object from two points of view for binocular vision, but the same object was drawn twice over by Mr. Dewar in perspective with different station points. The relief was aided by making the lines in the foreground thick, and those behind thin.—Mr. Love read a note on the stability of a thin rod loaded vertically.
