JAN.— MAK. 1857.] Photographic Prinling Process, 169 
ends lodged in squared hooks at intervals of 10 inches on the sticks 
— the rods fitting the hooks — I have on a space of wall 127eet long 
dried 143 papers almost daily for months and find it most convenient. 
In conclusion I would mention what seem to me to be the ad- 
vantages of the Process I have described. 
First. — The saving of time in not overprinting as required by 
the old Hypo, processes. 
Second. — The agreeably tone* of the picture — its firmness and 
the preservation of its half tones. 
Third. — The comparative certainty of its working. 
Fourth and most important. — The permanence. Prints sul- 
phuretted have been proved to be not so safe from fading as 
Prints coloured by Gold. In this Process the toning is by 
Gold only — and with subsequent care in washing this seems 
to be as safe as Photographic Printing can be. 
I must not close without reminding you that neaily all of this is 
given in Photographic works — and that I am merely bringing the 
subject to your notice that you may benefit by it as I have done. 
The subjoined Table of " Formulae for preparing Albumenized 
Paper," was communicated by Captain J. D. Scott, of the Madras 
Artillery. 
*' Similar Tables" he observes " might be drawn up for the 
" Fixing and Toning Baths" &c. &c. 
" In England 1 Egg gives an ounce of Albumen, but in this 
country, when the Eggs are very much smaller, I find that 24 
Eggs give about 16 ounces of Albumen, i. e. 1| Eggs are required 
to give 1 ounce."
