Notices to Correspondents.
_Owing to the necessity of infringing on the present Number for the
Title-page of our Sixth Volume, we are compelled to omit many interesting
communications, and also our usual_ NOTES ON BOOKS, _&c._
B. H. C._'s communication on the subject of "Proclamations" has been
forwarded to_ MR. BRUCE. {74}
A. S. T. _The line is from Prior_:
"Fine by degrees and beautifully less."
T. M. G. (Worcester) _is thanked_. _As the entire document would not occupy
any great space, we shall be obliged by the opportunity of inserting it._
NOTES ON OLD LONDON _have only been thrust aside_. _They are intended for
early insertion._
M. B. C. _We fear this cannot be avoided. The only consolation is, the
additional interest with which the volumes will be regarded a century
hence._
N. C. L., _who writes respecting Shaw's_ Stafford MSS., _is requested to
say how a communication may be forwarded to him_.
A READER, _who writes respecting the "Arnold Family," the same_.
W. S.'s (Sheffield) _communications are at press, and shall have early
attention_.
J. E. L. _is thanked_. _We can assure him that the present result of much
consideration and many communications, both by letter and personally, is to
impress us with the feeling that the majority approve. The book-men shall,
however, be no losers._
NEW ORDINARY OF ARMS. _The anonymous Correspondent on this subject will
obtain the information of which he is in search on reference to its Editor,
Mr. J. W. Papworth, 14 A. Great Marlborough Street, London._
ALDIBORONTOPHOSKOPHORNIO--WORLD WITHOUT A SUN. _The many Correspondents who
have replied to these Queries are thanked._
C. (Pontefract) _is requested to forward copies of the Queries in
question_.
REV. E. B. (B***) _is requested to state the subject of his communication.
In his last very extraordinary letter he has omitted this important piece
of information._
C. E. F. _who complains of the disappearance of a portion of the collodion
film at the spot where the hyposulphite of soda is applied, is informed
that this is by no means an uncommon occurrence, and indicates the feeble
action of the light at the present time of year. By using the glass a
little larger than is required, as has been before recommended, and pouring
the hyposulphite of soda on the portion which is to be cut off, and
allowing it to flow over the picture, the defect will generally be avoided.
A much stronger solution of the hyposulphite of soda may be used--say, one
ounce to two ounces of water; and then, by preserving the solution, and
using it over and over again, a more agreeable picture is produced. The
solution, when it becomes weak, may be refreshed by a few crystals of the
fresh salt added to it._
F. W. _If the bath of nitrate of silver produces the semi-opaque appearance
upon the collodion, in all probability there is no hyposulphite of soda in
the bath: three or four drops of tincture of iodine added to each ounce of
the solution of nitrate of silver in the bath, often acts very
beneficially. All doubtful solutions of nitrate of silver it is well to
precipitate by means of common salt, collect the chloride, and reduce it
again to its metallic state. The paper process described by DR. DIAMOND in
our 166th Number is calculated both for positives and negatives._
"Notes and Queries" _is published at noon on Friday, so that the Country
Booksellers may receive Copies in that night's parcel, and deliver them to
their Subscribers on the Saturday_.
