Humphrey, S. D. (Samuel Dwight)
Ambrotype; Photography
The future volumes will be abundantly furnished with original writings
from persons of standing in the scientific world; and the practical
Photographer will here find a full account of such improvements as may
from time to time develope themselves.
From the Editor's long practical experience in the Heliographic Science,
he will be enabled to present the subject in a plain, clear and concise
manner.

by its instruction I have been enabled to produce some of the finest Paper

_five_ times the amount of subscription. It is the only publication I can
_depend_ upon." A. G. R.

is of the most valuable importance to us practical Daguerreians. Go on.
