 Crown 8vo, pp. xi. — 187. (London: C. H. Kelly. 1890.) Price is. 6d. 



Abraham Lockwood, a quaint and popular local preacher, is the " Little 

 Abe " whose history is here given. Mr. Lockwood was a native of Hudders- 

 field, and the book is rendered additionally interesting by the conversational 

 parts of the narrative being written in the Yorkshire dialect.

W. Mills. (Huddersfield : Alfred Jubb. London : Simpkin, Marshall, and 

 Co. 1890.) 8vo, pp. xiv. — 123. Price 7s. 



The instructions given in this book are extremely plain. It is divided into 

 two parts ; the first treats of the apparatus, exposure, the dark-room, develop- 

 ing solutions, making the negative, green fog, hallation, and frillings. Two 

 chapters also treat of the value of colours, and Orthochromatic Photography. 

 Part II. treats of various Printing Processes. There are three photographic 

 plates showing interiors, but we have certainly seen a better view of the 

 interior of Bath Abbey than the one here given.
