Abstract
THIS almanac has been published as a book since 1861. Mr. Brown has edited it since 1906. Year by year he has made it a very worthy ‘daily companion’ for the photographer. While it contains, in each issue, brief working details of most of the common processes of photographic technique, it seems to keep thoroughly up-to-date. By means of good indexes, which cover advertisements as well as text, it has been possible to make the long series of volumes into a kind of encyclopaedic work from which not only details of technique may be learned, but also the development of photography may be followed. It can be recommended confidently to all who use photography.
