 ruption of Le Caton Fidele. 



L. The Court and Character of King James, by Sir A. W., 

 was written by Sir Anthony Weldon, Clerk of the King's Kitchen. 

 It is a well-known book. 



T. .\. T. A more complete key to the characters in Dibdin's 

 Bibliomania appears in our Seventh Volume, p. 151. 



Mr. Townshenii's Waxed-paper Process. This has been given 

 at length in the last Number of the Photographic Journal. Our 

 abstract was taken from the Journal of the Society of Arts, and 

 we regret that we did not so describe it. We are always anxious 

 to acknowledge the source of whatever appears in our columns, 

 and take this opportunity of supplying the omission. 



H. C. C. (Devizes). The appearance in your negative is from 

 perfect negligence . Always wash your picture after development 

 before placing it in thf hypo. bath. Your focus is not goad, and 

 your church is all tumbling down from want of care in adjusting 

 the camera. 



H. H. (Glasgow). The appearance is from small particles of 

 air intervening between your albumen and paper in its prepara- 

 tion. You must use more care in putting it on the albumen. 

 Take it by the right-hand corner, and remove it so thai you do 

 not draw it along the surface of the albumen, which causes streaks. 

 Avoid making bubbles in the fluid, which are very detrimental to 

 success. The other points mentioned in your letter are un- 

 important. 



C. W. W. (Leamington). We do not know where you can 

 procure amber varnish properly made. The expensive at first 

 is not so in reality, because, Jfrom its extreme fluidity , a very small 

 portion covers the picture. 



W. G. Turner's paper is certainly the most certain. Old 

 Whatman's is invaluable.

 turers of the ROYAL PIANOFORTES, at 25 

 Guineas each. Every instrument warranted. 

 The peculiar advantages of these pianofortes 

 are best described in the following professional 

 testimonial, signed by the majority of the lead- 

 ing musicians of the age:- "We, the under- 

 signed members of the musical profession, 

 having carefully examined the Hoyal Piano- 

 fortes manufactu-ed by MESSRS. D'AL- 

 MAINE & CO.. have great pleasure in hearmg 

 testimony to their merits and capabilities. It 

 appears to us impossible to produce instruments 

 of the same size possessing a r cher and finer 

 tone, more elastic touch, or more equal tem- 

 perament, while the elegance of their construc- 

 tion renders them a handsome ornament for 

 the library, t>oudoir,ordrawinir-rnom. (Sianed)
