Notices to Correspondents.
_The number of_ REPLIES TO MINOR QUERIES _waiting for insertion, compels us
to omit our usual_ NOTES ON BOOKS, _and a number of very interesting
communications_.
SCH. T. C. D., _who has pointed out a curious error in Disraeli's_
Curiosities of Literature, _has been anticipated by_ MR. BOLTON CORNEY _in
his_ Curiosities of Literature Illustrated, p. 144. _et seq._
A. B. R. _Yes, as at present advised._
S. W. L. _is assured that the communications to which he refers interest as
large and intelligent a class of readers, as will feel an interest in the
communication which he proposes to forward, and which we shall gladly
receive_.
C. D. W. T. (Jun.) _is thanked: but the edition is too well known to all
the Communicators, to require that he should be troubled upon the subject_.
J. H. W._'s communication shall have early insertion. Our arrangements
would not admit of its appearing this week._
TYRO. _The anonymous_ Life of Queen Anne _inquired after_ (Vol. vii., p.
108.) _is a different work to that of Boyer's, and does not contain
one-third the quantity of letter-press. The descriptive matter of the_
Metallick History _has been copied from Boyer, although the plates have
been re-engraved_.
MR. BROWN'S _Letter on_ MR. ARCHER'S _Services to Photography_; G. H. _on
Difficulties in the Wax-Paper Process; and_ F. M. L. _on the Albumen
Process, are unavoidably postponed until next week_.
A. B. _Your suggestions will be attended to in the_ NOTES ON PHOTOGRAPHY.
ENQUIRER (Edinburgh). _If you follow the instructions given in our former
Numbers on the Collodion Process, you must meet with success. The deposit
in negatives is often much blackened by adding an increased proportion of
acetic acid to the pyrogallic solution--say two drachms to the ounce, so
that the solution shall be one-fifth of acetic acid. A_ long _exposure
often weakens a negative; and, during the recent fall of snow, thirty
seconds has produced an effective printing negative, whilst three minutes'
exposure has given a negative picture so transparent as to be useless_.
