[We would recommend our correspondent to remove his paper from the
albumen still more slowly; and to take care not to draw it along, but
so to lift it that the last corner is not moved until it is raised from
the albumen. In pinning up be careful that the paper takes the inward
curl, otherwise the appearances exhibited will be almost sure to take
place. As the albumenizing liquid is of very trifling cost, we
recommend the use of two dishes, as by that means a great economy of
time is obtained.]
