the solution, add 1 grain of gold from usual solution, and 10 ounces of warm water, and use it when quite cold. It will not keep good more than a day. As the prints are toned we throw them into water, and when all are finished give them one or two changes, and then Gx in the usual hyposulphite solution (1 to 4), though I believe the makers now recommend it to be used weaker. Ten minutes will suffice to fix them, and we have only to sub mit them to the usual washing, though less will, I believe, suffice than for albumenized paper prints; still it is well to be on the safe side. Then they will be dried, and here comes the only real difficulty ; of course they may be dried by simple ex posure to the air, in which case they have a matt surface, and it is recommended to squeezee them out to a piece of plate glass, previously well cleaned and polished with French chalk. This gives them a beautiful gloss which many people admire. I have, however, found great difficulty in getting them oft' the glass afterwards ; and it is very aggravating after getting a good print to find it either tear on taking it off, or stick persistently so that it will not come off at all. I have not satisfied myself as to the cause of the difference, since some say they come off without any difficulty ; whilst others, not usually less careful, find it succeed very badly. I am inclined to believe the difference is mainly due to differences in the quality of the powdered French chalk as sold. I find, however, that drying them upon, as polished, a variety of American leather-cloth—or rather oilcloth—answers very well, and they are detached from this without any difficulty. You will see that the whole process may be carried on in gas light, which is a great convenience; the only precaution neces sary is to moderate the light somewhat when changing and developing—shielding paper and tray from direct light as much as possible. The after operation may be done in comfortable gaslight. “orrespondence. CRITICS AND CRITICISM. Sir,—I felt not a little surprised when I saw my picture, “At the Wheel,” and my remarks thereon, were the sub ject of a paper read before such a distinguished body as the Edinburgh Photographic Society, the report of which appeared in your issue of March 20th. I trust you will allow me a little of your valuable space, so that I may say a few words (not in any controversial spirit) in defending myself from the somewhat severe criticisms of such an able gentleman as Mr. Stewart. After quoting my remarks on the faculty of observation, Mr. Stewart goes on to say : " It is the faculty which enables the artist to judge from what particular spot and at what particular time to take his picture, so as to get the best possible results out of it.” 1 fully endorse these words, and in my Whitby pictures I contend, that with the very limited time at my disposal, I did get—I hardly like to blow my own trumpet—the best possible results. That there are defects in the picture in question I do not deny ; I was fully cognisant of them long ere the features of the swarthy helmsman were indelibly fixed on my plate. I had two alternatives—arrange the details so as to be nechnically correct and artistic and find my time gone, or have a shot at it and make the bestof it. That I did right, the ultimate success of my picture fully proves. That it is as good a picture as was possible to make out of the subject, I do not wish for one moment to contend. I get my living by practising the fascinating art, and I must have pictures that will “pay,” and I cannot afford to devote anything like as much time as I should wish to this line of work, but I must make the best of my opportunities. Mr. Stewart docs not agree with me in thinking that the cultivation of the faculty of observation in this direc tion is so rare. The cultivation may not be rare, but 1 am not going to believe that the succtssful cultivation is not rare because such eminently skilful gentlemen as Mr. II. P. Robinson and Mr. Adam Diston are able to produce most beautiful pictures, which win the admiration of all judges. Lit Mr. Stewart give twenty names from amongst the thousands of photographers, then I will believe that there is no truth in my statement. The defects in my picture are “ inevitable ”; had I the brush of a painter I could have produced, with the same materials, a very different result; but alas 1 our sensitive plates are not canvas. As to the remarks anent some of the “ properties,” I must remind Mr. Stewart, that the main sheet he refers to belongs to another vessel; and that had this steersman faced right in front, it would have been a no more correct picture, and I should not have produced a flattering like ness of my hero. One must admire the careful pilot, as he shows by the anxiety depicted upon his face how all his thoughts and energies are bent upon the one aim of his mind—the safety of bis ship, crew, &c., and as he navigates his vessel through dangerous shoals, making the huge monster shape his course to his will like a well-trained steed ; but the man in our picture is in solo charge of a small lighter, safe within the harbour a few yards from the quay, so I think he may be allowed the luxury of a whiff of the fragrant weed. Should I be justified in losing a subject by waiting for the little pig to put bis foot in a trough ? I should by all means prefer the porcine creature to be displaying all his traits with perfect truthfulness; but if I saw a chance of producing an effective picture, I should not throw away an opportunity because the subject was not arranged quite comme il faut.—Yours, &c., Geo. Hadley. o Aroceedings of Societies. Loxcox and PROvINOIAL Photographic Association. A meeting of this Society was held on Thursday, the 26th ult., Mr. T. C. SILan in the chair. Mr. Henderson exhibited, by permission of Mrs. Phillips (widow of the inventor), the vistascope alluded to upon a previous occasion. It is a box of four compartments, the sides and bottom of which were lined with mirrors, some simple device being arranged thereon ; observing the reflected images by means of a small hole at each corner, a perfect vista was seen. The instrument, Mr. Henderson thought, could be utilized by photographers. He also showed, on behalf of Mr. J. G. Tunny (Edinburgh), a series of paper negatives made by that gentleman upon Talbotype paper in the years 1814 to 1851. Mr. Henderson likewise showed prints he had made from them without retouch ing or dodging in any way, and considered them as perfect as prints from any other kind of negative. The negatives, which were of exceedingly find texture, had not become perceptibly yellow, and in most cases the wax remained in as good condition as when applied ; they also indicated the permanent character of metallic silver reduced from iodide by means of a gallic acid deve loper. Mr. W. M. Ashman said the long exposure appeared the chief drawback to the process, and mentioned that tho bromide paper negatives sent to the Society by Messrs. Morgan and Kidd were in every way perfect; moreover, it was quite unnecessary to render the bromide paper negatives transparent. Mr. W. E. Derenham thought Mr. Tunny’s negatives were particularly interesting as illustrations of the old paper negative process; but he could not agree with Mr. Henderson in saying they were as perfect as negatives by any process. Mr. J. Barker contended that the old process gave a power of piling up silver which gelatine bromide papers did not possess. Mr. Cowan called attention to the advantages of the perchlo ride of iron reducer for chloride plates, which also enabled him to obtain perfectly clear shadows. His stock solutions were perchlo ride of iron fiv) per cent., hydrochloric acid two and a-half per cent., hypo the ordinary fixing strength. To reduce an image considerably, the solutions were employed as above. If only a slight anountot reduction was requisite, the solutions were to be diluted considerably. Several members advocated the ferrid cyan de method, but Mr. Cowan said that it did not answer with chloride plates so well as the plan suggested. Mr. J. B. B. Wellington, in making an emulsion with sul phite of soda, deposited the silver upon the glass vessel; 80 grains of sodic sulphite and 100 grains of silver nitrate were put into 5
