PHOTOGRAPHIC PLEA- 

 SURES popularly portrayed with Pen 

 and Pencil ; by CUTIIBERT BEDE, B.A., 

 Author of " Verdant Green." Trea'ed in 

 12 Chapters ; and illustrated with 24 Plates, 

 containing upwards of 70 humorous designs. 



" That a subject so provocative of a good- 

 natured laugh as Photography, should be 

 seized upon as the subject of his mirth, by one 

 who has so keen a sense of the ridiculous as 

 the author of ' Verdant Green,' was only to be 

 expected. We have been much amused by its 

 perusal ; and few will turn over the paaes of it 

 without sharing our enjoyment." — Notes aiui 

 Queries. 



" We have been much amused with the face- 

 tisc, both of the pen and pencil, contained in 

 this volume ; and we heartily recommend it to 

 all who have the wisdom to meet the inevit- 

 able difficulties of an incipient art with that 

 good hum ur whicli is the best antidote to all 

 petty grievances." — Gentleman's ilagazine. 



" The ludicrous side of Photography is fair 

 game for the caricaturist. With much clear- 

 ness, Mr. Bede has seized the salient points of 

 the new art." — The At/ieuceum. 



" The book is full of illustrations, radiant 

 with the raciness of Cruikshank, the broad and 

 round humour of Kowiandson, knowledge of 

 the world of Doyle, and quick apprehension of 

 Leech." — Worcester Herald.

 of his Brother-in-law, ANDREW LUMIS- 

 DEN, Private Secretary to the Stuart Princes, 

 and Author of " The Antiquities of Rome." 

 By JAMES DENNISTOUN, of Dennistouu. 



" It is impossible for us to do justice within 

 our limits to the vast fund of anecdote and 



Sersonal history scattered up and down through 

 Ir. Lumisden's letters ; much less can we 

 j make room for an adequate notice of that por- 

 i tion of the work which, in the form of the 

 I biography of nn eminent artist, constitutes a 

 ! valuable contribution to the history of the art 

 ! of engraving. Tiie indications which we have 

 i given of its contents will, however, suffice to 

 direct the attention of our readers to a work 

 j unrivalled for variety of information." — JoJiiL
