Abstract
THIS volume, which is the fourth edition of the work, has been very greatly enlarged and rewritten since the appearance of the third edition, the number of chapters having been increased from fifty-five to sixty-eight. It may be considered as forming a most excellent guide to the practice of photography, and a perfect reference for those who so continually question one as to “the best book on photography, for a beginner, you know”; and it will doubtless prove useful as a reference book to many who have long passed the beginner stage. There is a decision of tone and clearness of exposition, combined with an intelligent anticipation of the many questions which arise at every step of the path, which render it especially suitable for this purpose.
The Science and Practice of Photography.
