Abstract
Tuis well-known annual appears this year in a new form with a much larger page, which gives more scope for the considerable number of half-tone reproductions with which it is embellished. The text also is improved, for the articles are fewer, longer, and of more interest; and the developer formula are set out in a more businesslike and concise form than we have been accustomed to, a strictly comparative table for each type of developer being given on the basis of 1000 parts of water in every case. Mr. E. J. Wall gives a practical digest of the year's work in photography, which is fuller than such summaries generally are, including working formulae in almost all cases, and with occasional valuable comments. Mr. Wall also contributes a historical article on the desensitising of plates, written with his usual thoroughness. Among the other articles of special scientific value is one by Dr. Wightman on “Photographic Sensitivity and the Latent Image,“ and one by Messrs. J. I. Crabtree and J. F. Ross on “The Recovery of Silver from Exhausted Fixing Baths.“ All these contributions mentioned have full references to the original sources of information appended to them, forming valuable bibliographies of the subjects.
