Abstract
I HAVE found great difficulty in obtaining fresh photographic dry plates of whatever maker, from dealers, who frequently pass off upon the purchasers packets of plates which have been in stock for a long time, and consequently unfit for use. It has therefore occurred to me that this trouble might be avoided by the makers dating every packet as issued by them, thus following the custom of the Platinotype Company with their tins of paper. By such a system the purchaser would be able to protect himself, and many makers' plates would be found much more satisfactory.
