The first English work on lithography, preceded only a few years before by the author's translation of Raucourt's 

 ' Manual of Lithography ' (v. No. 3905, ante). Some of the lithographs are very fine, more especially a portrait after 

 Rembrandt. 



' Hullmandel's practice and study resulted in the discovery of a new mode of preparing the stones. . . . Among the 

 many artists who availed themselves of his processes for the reproduction of their drawings were Stanfield, David Roberts, 

 Haghe, Nash, and Cattermole. Among other improvements he made in the art were a graduated tint, the introduction of 

 white in the high lights, and the use of the stump on the stone.' Cosmo Monkhouse.
