[The defects described by our correspondent are so frequent with
manipulators in the wax-paper process, and which DR. MANSELL has called
so aptly a "gravelly appearance," that we shall be glad to receive
communications from those of our numerous correspondents who are so
fortunate as to avoid it.]
_The New Waxed-paper, or Ceroleine Process._--The following process,
communicated to the French paper _Cosmos_ by M. Stephane Geoffroy, and
copied into _La Lumiere,_ appears to possess many of the advantages of the
wax-paper, while it gets rid of those blemishes of which so many complain.
I have therefore thought it deserving the attention of English
photographers, and so send a translation of it to '"N. & Q." As I have
preserved the French measures--the _litre_ and the _gramme_--I may remind
those who think proper to repeat M. Geoffroy's experiments, that the former
is equal to about 2 pints and 2 ounces of our measure; and that the
_gramme_ is equal to 15.438 grains, nearly 15-1/2.
