  Spectropia; Or, Surprising Spectral Illusions. Showing Ghosts Everywhere, And Of Any Colour. [by J. H. Brown] With Sixteen Illustrations.

summary:
  When the three primary colours are mixed together, white is tlie result : so that when a ray of white light falls upon a piece of paper, and all the vibrations are equally reflected, the paper will appear white, and if they are all absorbed, it will ajipear black ; but, if the paper absorbs .*ome and reflects others, it will ajijiear coloured. A ghost, according to the general descriptions of those who fancy they have been favoured with a sight of one, apjjears to I)e of a pale phosphorescent white, or bluisli white colour ; usually indistinct, and so transparent that objects are easily seen through it.

summary:
  A critical e}'e was to be kept on current Literature, — a regret- ful one on the Drama, and a kind one on the Fine Arts, from whose Artesian well there would be an occasional draiviiigr More than half of the first number, which was published in January with, for those days, considerable success, (1,500 copies being sold), was contrib- uted by Hood himself The frontispiece was an exceedingly good steel engraving by J. Cousen, after Thomas Creswick, xii INTRODUCTION R.A., of The Haunted House ; and it is quite possible that the original picture, which, we arc told, was never in Hood's possession, supplied the initial sugges- tion for the poem it was employed to decorate. After changing printers twice, Hood managed to get out the second num- ber, which opened with another of his more serious poems, The Ladfs Dream, — the title, by the way, of one of Stothard's water-colour designs in the William Smith Bequest at South Kensington.

I have written ghost stories for years now, serious and comic, and I am to-day at the end of my tether compelled to move forward and yet held back. That accounts for it, he said, simply.
