Books Wanted. So many of our Correspondents seem disposed 

 to avail themselves oj our plan oj placing the bonksellers in direct 

 comtnnnicalion with them, that we find ourselves cotnpelled to 

 limit each list of books to two insertions. We would also express 

 a hope that those gentlemen who may at once succeed in obtaining 

 any desired volumes will be good enough to notify the same to us, 

 in order that such books may not unnecessarily appear in such 

 list even a second time. 



P. G. IVe are not in a position to answer P. G.'s inquiries. 

 Why not try one of the series and judge for yourself f 



A German Investigator, who slates that sojne important moves 

 towards the "flying by man" have lately been made upon the 

 Continent, and who inquires " what noblemen or gentlemen would 

 be likely to foster similar researches in this country," should 

 rather address himself to some of the Journals devoted to mecha- 

 nical science. 



Sciolus. The author of Doctor Syntax was the well-known 

 William Coombe, a curious list oftvhose works will be found in the 

 Gentleman's Magazine/or May, 1852, p. 467. 



Charles Demayne. We have a letter for this Correspondent ^ 

 where shall it be sent ? 



Erica will find his illustration of Campbell's Like Angel visits 

 anticipated in our 1st Vol. 



J. N. C. (King's Lynn). We have one or tiao Replies on the 

 same subject already in the Printer's hands. 



A. J. V. (University Club) will find his Query respecting 

 Solamen miseris, kc. in Vol. viii., p. 272., and an answer re- 

 specting Tempora mutantur in p. 306. 



Our Correspondent C. E. F. (p. 373.) is informed — 1. That 

 both the solutions of the muriate salts and the nitrate of silver may 

 be used in the manner he proposes ; but a portion of sugar of 

 milk, inannite, or grape sugar, as has been previously recom- 

 mended, 7nuch accelerates the process. 2. 7'he positives should be 

 printed about one-third deeper than is required, and they should 

 remain in the hypo, bath until the mottled appearance is removed, 

 which is visible when held up against the light and they are 

 looked through : at first the positive often assumes a very un- 

 pleasant red colour J this gradually disappears by longer im- 

 mersion, when the proofs 7iiay be reinoved at the point of tint 

 required, remembering that they become rather darker when 

 dry, especially if ironed, and which is generally desirable, 

 especially if the print is rather pale. 3. The sel d'or does not 

 seem to have the destructive effect which the chloride of gold 

 has, and if the chemicals are entirely removed, in all probability 

 they are quite permanent. Those which we have seen printed 

 several months since appear to have suffered no change. Bictures 

 produced by the amtnonio-nitrate arc most uncertain. There 

 are feiv who have not had the mortification to see some of their 

 best productions fade and disappear. A learned professor, about 

 eighteen months since, sent us a picture so printed " as some- 

 thing to work up to i " a few yelloicish stains are now all that 

 remains on the paper.
