NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No, 183. 



Having had an opportunity of being present at the 

 private view of Messrs. DelaMotte and Cundall's Pho- 

 tographic Institution, in New IJond Street, we were 

 highly pleased with the interesting specimens of the 

 art there collected, which in our opinion far exceed 

 any similar productions wliich have come before the 

 public. We strongly advise our readers to visit this 

 exhibition, that they may see the rapid progress which 

 the art is making, and how applicable it is to their 

 archaeological pursuits. 



Books Received. — The Vale Royal of England, or 

 the Countt/ Palatine of Chester Illustrated. Abridged 

 ■and revised, Sfc, by Tliomas Hughes. The title-page 

 of this little volume puts forth its claim to the atten- 

 tion of Cheshire antiquaries. — The Farnihj Shahspeare, 

 by Thomas Bowdler, Vol. VI. This volume com- 

 pletes this handsome reprint of an edition of Shak- 

 speare, wliich fatliers and brothers, who may scruple at 

 bringing before their daughters and sisters the blemishes 

 which the character of the age has left in Sbakspeare's 

 'writings, may safely present to them ; as in it nothing 

 is added to the original text, from which only those 

 words and expressions are omitted which cannot with 

 propriety be read in a family.

 early period, that the present Number might be included in the

 the means of discovering thebodies of the drowned in our 4th Vol.,

H. O. N. (Brighton). In our own practice ire knve never ob- 

 tained pictures with the agreeable colour rvhich is produced by the 

 iodide of silver, when iodide of ammonium has been used. The 

 finking of the collodion would indicate an excess of iodide, and is 

 often cured by t/ie addition of about twenty drops of alcohol to an 

 ounce of collodion. The feathery appearance is difficult to com- 

 preliind, without seeing a specimen. If you are using glass 

 which has been previously used, the most tninute remains of iron 

 would cause a discoloration. Muriatic acid is the most effectual 

 remedy for cleaning glass so used. It may be procured at 2id. 

 per lb., and should be diluted with three parts of water. 



An Amateur (Oxford). Weare not of opinion that Mr. Ta'bot 

 could restrain any one from faking collodion portraits, aspatntee 

 of the Talboiype process. It is done in many parts of London 

 daily without any per^nission See Times' Advertisements, ^c. 



C. E. F. We think yon use too strong a solution of the ammonio- 

 nitrate of silver: thirty grains to the ounce of wn/er, and then re- 

 dissolved with the strong liq. amnion., gives Co us most satisfactory 

 results,— the paper being prepared before with chloride of barium, 

 chloride of sodium, and chloride of ammonia, of each half a drachm 

 to the quart cf water, in irltich half an ounce of mannite, or sugar 

 of milk, has been previously dissolved, li'hen sufficiently printed, 

 put it into the hypo, sulph. solution, without previous immersion. 



H. L. L. We shall be happy to render you the best assistance 

 toe can, if you will communicate with vs again. For iodized paper 

 we may safely refer you to our advertising columns.
