Practical Photo-Micrography by the Latest Methods. By 



Andrew Pringle, F.R.M.S. 8vo, pp. ix. — [83. (New York: Scoville and 

 Adams Co. 1890.) 



This is a very thorough treatise on the art of photo-micrography. The 

 author has directed his investigations, in a great measure, to two great and 

 novel features of the science, viz. — Apochromatic Objectives and Colour-correct 

 Plates. He has written deliberately and confessedly for the Natural and 

 Medical Sciences rather than for those who use the microscope simply as a 

 pastime. The book contains six fine photo-micrographic plates, besides 

 upwards of 40 woodcut illustrations.

Photogravure. By W. T. Wilkinson. Crown 8vo, pp. 40. 



(London: Iliffe and Son. 1890.) Price is. 6d. 



The author tells us that process photogravure is simple, very interest- 

 ing, and not at all tedious, and up to the last stage of printing from the plate 

 requires little apparatus or material beyond that found in most amateur's 

 photographic dark-rooms. The process is fully described in this little book.

 forty years. There are four photographic plates, giving portraits and other

 art.
