TESTIMONIAL 



DR. DIAMOND, F .S.A. 



The eminent services rendered by DR. DIAMOND to Photography, and through Photo- 

 graphy to Archasology, have given rise to a general feeling that he is entitled to some public 

 acknowledgment in the nature of a Ttstimonial. Scarcely any of the practisers of photography 

 but have received grrat benefit from the suggestions and improvements of DR. DIAMOND. 

 Those improvements have been the results of numerous and costly experiments, carried on ia 

 the true spirit of scientific inquiry, and afterwards explained in the most frank and liberal 

 manner ; without the slightest reservation or endeavour to obtain from them any private or 

 personal advantage. DR. DIAMOND'S conduct i' this respect has been in every way so pecu- 

 liariy lionourable, that there can be no doubt many persons w^ill be rejoiced to have an oppor- 

 tunity of tC'itifying their sense of his high merits and their own obligations to hira, by aiding the 

 suggested Testimonial. 



To give expression to this feeling, a Meeting was recently held, when the foUowine 

 Gentlemen were elected a Committee to receive Subscriptions.
