Summary "Through Magic Glasses and Other Lectures" by Arabella B. Buckley is a collection of scientific lectures aimed at young readers, written in the late 19th century. This sequel to "The Fairyland of Science" explores various concepts of science, particularly focusing on the wonders revealed through optical instruments such as the telescope and microscope. The overarching theme emphasizes the magic of discovering the unseen world around us through these scientific tools, encouraging curiosity and further study. The opening of the work introduces the reader to a character referred to as the magician, who is situated in a turret chamber illuminated by the moonlight, preparing to observe an impending total lunar eclipse. He is depicted as a passionate teacher and scientist, eager to share the marvels of astronomy with his students at a school for working lads. The magician is surrounded by various instruments including a telescope, spectroscope, and microscope, each representing a different avenue of exploration into the universe and the microscopic world. As he waits for the eclipse, he reflects on the excitement of revealing the hidden complexities of nature, indicating the educational and exploratory spirit that pervades the lectures.
