Sigma. The Rev. Richard Warner, the Historian of Bath, we 

 believe, is still living, and is Rector of Chadfield, Wilts, and Chel- 

 wood, Somersetshire. 



F. S. A. The origin as well as the demolition of Castell Dinds, 

 Bran, near Llangollen, have bnffled our topographical antiquaries. 

 For some notices of this fortress consult Pennant's Tour in Wales, 

 p. 279., edit. 1778 (with a plate of it) ; Leland's Itinerary, vol. v. 

 p. 51. ; and Beauties of England and Wales, voL xviii. p. 558. 



Rustica. The Dutch Gothic Church, noticed in The Times of 

 the 5th inst., is in Austin Friars. 



J— G. We did not succeed in getting ike book. 



Neison on Railway Accidents is published in the Journal of 

 the Statistical Society for December, 1853, and may be had of 

 Parker, 445 Strand. 



B. T. A. The line "England, with all thy faults I love thee 

 still," is by Cowper (The Task, book ii.). 



Rev. J. J. We fear some injustice was done — unintentionally, 

 but fear also that it is now too late to remedy it. 



Inquirer (Birmingham). Some of our correspondents have met 

 with great success from Mr. Crookes' process ; but we are bound to 

 say that it has not been universal. 



G. W. E. recommends that in immersing a collodion plate it 

 should first be inserted horizontally, and then transversely in the 

 nitrate of silver bath, as a sure means of avoiding spots. 



He is informed that if the edges of his glass are roughed, it will 

 greatly tend to the adhesion of the collodion. The nitrate of silver 

 bath, used for exciting collodion plates, is not available for exciting 

 albumenized paper or any other purpose. 



H. C. C. 1. The addition of cyanide of potassium to the sensi- 

 tive collodion not only prevents its decomposition, but appears to 

 add to its general good qualities. 2. Protosulphate of iron mixed 

 with your nitrate bath is quite fatal. 3. Good pictures are con- 

 stantly taken when the temperature is below sixty ; though there 

 is no doubt all chemical action is quicker in warm weather. 



B. (Manchester). See " N. & Q.," No. 205, October 1, 1853. 



W. Beatson. There are difficulties in the way of such an ex- 

 change of photographic pictures, which are very difficult to over- 

 come. At present we believe the Photographic Society, with the 

 aid of an energetic Council, have been unable to effect this, even to 

 a limited extent.
