Bangalore, 22nd September, 1856. 
Gentlemen, — I have much pleasure in laying before you this 
paper which Dr. Scott will read to you. There is a value in the 
Printing process, that I am about to describe which, coupled with 
the fact, that I do not obtrude on you uninvited, will acquit me of 
presumption in doing so. 
My facilities for acquiring experience in this branch of the art, 
have been great, and there are few, to whom this will be read, who 
have the requisite leisure, to practice the various processes,fromtime 
to time put forward, and so decide for themselves, which would be 
the simplest, as to manipulation, the sajest, as to permanence, and 
the best, and most cerlain, as to results. I have followed many 
methods — and, keeping in mind all their several advantages, I have 
no hesitation in recommending for your use, though it is by no 
means, the simplest in manipulation, a Process published by Mr. 
Sutton of Jersey, in which Hyposulphite of Gold is used as a 
toning agent. The Council of the Society are, I believe, about to 
notify the opening of an Exhibition to be held at Madras during 
February next, and, as it is only through successful Printing, that 
the Photographer's skill is properly represented, this may be no 
inappropriate occasion to bring to your notice a process, not as yet 
generally followed, but which will show itself superior, it is to be 
hoped, over " Old Hypd^ at the forthcoming Exhibition. 
Thin French negative Paper, albumenized, is what I find best 
for my purpose. To albumenize, use 
10 oz. Albumen, 
20 oz. Dist. Water,
