Mr. Baxendell read the following letter from Mr. 
Joseph Sidebotham, F.K.A.S., dated Mentone, December 
7th, 1876 : — 
There is a little matter I wish you would call attention 
to at one of the meetings of the Lit. and Phil. Soc., in order 
that the remarks of the members upon it may be obtained, 
and if thought desirable, published in the “ Proceedings,” so 
as to come before the public. 
My attention has been for some time directed to the 
growing use of the anneline colors for tinting photogj’aphs. 
Now I find they are being extensively used in paintings and 
water-color drawings, and the colors regularly sold for that 
purpose. Any one who knows the speedy alteration by 
light of nearly all of these colors will protest against their 
use, and a statement of this with the authority of some of 
our chemists would probably have the effect of causing them 
to be discontinued by all artists who care to think that 
their works should last more than a single year. 
Professor C. Schorlemmer, F.B.S., exhibited the new 
colouring matters Fluorescein, soluble Eosin, and insoluble 
Eosin, as well as samples of silk and wool dyed by them, 
and showed the characteristic properties of these bodies.
