Abstract
THE quick call for a second edition of this work indicates the approval with which it has been received, and we may safely say there is not a better or more instructive book on the art principles of photography than the one before us. Dr. Emerson is a photographer of the first rank, his artistic compositions are everywhere admired, and the energetic manner with which many of the old and cherished ideas of the ordinary photographer are attacked and others established makes it very manifest that he only writes what he knows to be true. The literary style of the book is excellent, and the exposition has the merit of being strikingly original; it should, therefore, be studied by every photographer, both amateur and professional, who desires to excel in his art.
