Abstract
THE author is “examiner in photography and theoretical and applied optics to the Spectacle Makers' Company,” and states that the primary object of this volume is to cover the ground of this company's examination. The first chapter deals with cameras in a popular rather than a scientific manner. The next two chapters constitute about half the volume, and deal with photographic lenses and the optics relating to their manufacture and use, including the consideration of shutters and artificial illumination. The remaining sections of the book deal with sensitometers, and the other subjects mentioned in the title.
