Ws have already intimated to our readers that it was in contemplation by the South London Photographic Society to hold an exhibition of photographs during the forth coming summer. That an exhibition affording fuller scope for illustrating the present state of photographic art than can possibly be effected in the space devoted for the purpose in the International Exhibition at South Kensington, is de sirable, is universally admitted and emphatically expressed. That such an exhibition should be under the direction of some photographic society need scarcely be affirmed. The parent society having concluded that the initiation of such an additional exhibition on their part was undesirable, and the officers of the South London Society having received in timation of this determination on the part of the parent society, at once resolved to undertake the duty of organising an independant exhibition. As a South London society it was felt that the Crystal Palace at Sydenham possessed a local fitness for an exhibition under their auspices, whilst at the same time it possessed an extent of facilities, and a universality of attraction, which Would render it by far the most desirable place in which to hold an exhibition which, if not a substitute for, might at least, be an important auxiliary to, the display of photographs in the building at South Kensington. We have now the pleasure of announcing that arrange ments are completed with the directors of the Crystal Palace Company, which secure to the society a very large and eligible space in the first gallery of the Crystal Palace, immediately overlooking the central trancept. This space will be placed entirely underthe management of a committee of the South London Society, and so arranged and screened pointed in obtaining space to exhibit the fine amplified proofs, of which we have heard from time to time such glowing accounts, we may legitimately hope for an exten sive and gratifying display of their work. At the time we write the preliminary arrangements have just been completed. We hope next week to announce the conditions and regulations in full. In the meantime, we make this brief and hasty notification to allow those of our readers who are interested in the matter, to be making any necessary preparation for such a desirable opportunity of contributing to an exhibition which will not, we trust, fall short, in all features of interest and excellence, of any which has been held on any previous occasion. Jlotes un Jottings. No. 14. Mb. REYNOLDS’s New Process: “ Summing up.” — Dr. Phipson’s Iron Printing Process. The printing process with peroxalate of iron, which Mr. Reynolds recently brought under the notice of the Dublin Chemical Society, has, in consequence of his having put it forward as “ new,” caused some little discussion, and, on the part of Mr. Reynolds, a mhisapprehension that he was sup posed to have obtained some of his ideas from previous pub lications on this subject. Having been the first to show that the process had long been known, thereby opening the enquiry, it may not be out of place for us, at this point of the proceedings, to “ sum up ” the case, which may in fact be considered as practically settled, and to assure Mr. Reynolds that no one ever supposed or intimated, that from beginning to end, he acted otherwise than in perfect good faith. It may be remembered that the paper “On a New Process for Photographic Printing ” was read to the Dublin Chemi cal Society in November last, and placed before our readers in the first number of the present volume. Mr. Shadbolt next calls attention to the process in a leader in the British Journal of Photography of the 15th ult., considering it a subject of “ no trifling importance”—and therein he may be right for anything we shall say to the contrary—at the same time describing the idea as a new and original one. That it was original, so far as Mr. Reynolds is concerned, we never doubted, but that it was not new, we clearly showed in the News of the 17th ult., at the same time, however, crediting that gentleman for the demonstration of his method of preserving the half tones of the image, which we had not known previously. Mr. Taylor, on the 1st inst., in the British, favours us with some “ notes, harmonious and dis cordant," on the subject, — “ discordant ” as regards Mr. Reynolds’s claim, but “ harmonious ” with our remarks thereon. At the same time Mr. Shadbolt, in a second leader confesses to having been caught “ napping ” with re ference to the “ so-styled new process putting in, however, a good excuse for having given his friends a chance of “waking up the editor,” and raising a laugh at his " friend’s ” expense, demonstrating how little the giant felt the pigmies’ kicks. But Mr. Reynolds evidently had not been so accustomed to “ ’arf bricks ” as our stoical friend the editor, and thus we find a letter from that gentleman in the News of the 31st ult., wherein, in reply to our “Jotting,” he still stands out for the newness of his discovery, inas much as he employed ammonio-nitrate of silver, and not
