Read the following from The Trade Journal:
"To just such instructions as he meets with in this work, is the writer of
this paragraph indebted for his own advancement from the journeyman's rank
to the position he now occupies. The winter evenings spent in pursuing
such studies, would fit many a man, now skilful as a workman, to take a
higher stand among his associates, and a more useful one in the community.
The whole book, which has been a very expensive one to get up, does great
credit to the publishers, and when known generally, cannot but receive a
cordial welcome from that valuable class of men to whom we are indebted
for the shelter afforded by 'the house we live in.'"

THE NEW SUN PICTURES.
This new style of Pictures which are soon destined to supercede the
far-famed
DAGUERREOTYPES
Are taken in all their wonderful perfection by
N. G. BURGESS,
+At his Rooms, No. 293 BROADWAY, New-York.+
All persons who may wish to see their PORTRAITS TRUE TO LIFE, will do well
to call at his Gallery, and procure one of these new glass pictures known
as
AMBROTYPES.
The perfection to which this Art is brought, has induced the Subscriber to
bestow more than usual pains on this branch of Photography, and he is now
without a rival in the profession.
These AMBROTYPES are sealed with a durable cement, which renders them
perfectly impervious to air, and even water itself. They are therefore
IMPERISHABLE.
This fact alone will recommend them before all other pictures taken by the
Sun's rays, added to which is their wonderful truthfulness, being taken
without reversal as in the ordinary Daguerreotype, and capable of being
viewed in any angle of light.
