Excerpt from Photographer's Pocket Reference-Book and Dictionary: An Alphabetically Arranged Collection of Practically Important Hints on the Construction of the Gallery; Selection and Trial of Lenses and Chemicals; Approved Formulæ for the Different Photographic Processes; Tables of Weights and Measures; Rules for Avoi
By an uninterrupted intercourse with many practical photographers, assistants, and scholars, I observed that the best of handbooks on photography, and the most instructive periodicals, leave a want, in so far as it is a matter of difficulty to find exactly that which is required at the moment.
Useful directions on the construction of the gallery; on the preparation of the collodion and silver bath; the causes and the remedies of failures in the positive and negative processes; dry-plate process; instructions on the selection and use of the objectives, &c., are often lost, because they are not readily found. There is not sufficient time at one's disposal to read whole pages in order to discover the particular line which is wanted. I have endeavored, therefore, to collect, in alphabetical succession, in a small pocket volume, everything important for the photographer; and nobody can remain in doubt where to look for the particular information he desires.
In this little work numerous notices have been embodied which have not been published heretofore, and which I have collected during my long practical career.
The knowledge of the practice of photography is presupposed; and based on this supposition, I have sketched the different processes in but a few words, leaving the details to be examined in my "Handbook," or the periodicals to which I have referred in the text.
The metrical system of weights and measures has been generally adopted throughout this book, although in many instances the corresponding quantities, expressed in grains, drachms, ounces, and pints, have also been given.
In giving the chemical symbols, I have adhered to the older form.
