Ω. Φ. The volume referred to is the well-known reprint of the First Edition of Shakspeare.
Tyro. How can we address a letter to this Correspondent?
A. C. W. The yolk of an Egg is the yelk, or yellow of the egg. In Beaumont and Fletcher's Wife for a Month it is so written:
"like to poach'd eggs,
That had the yelk suck'd out."
See Richardson's Dictionary, s. v.
Jarltzberg. The name Radical is only an abbreviated form of Radical Reformer, which was the title originally assumed by the political party now known as Radicals.
C. E. B. (M.D.) Dublin. The Query shall be immediately inserted, if forwarded. The former does not appear to have been received.
Recnac. Douce (Illustrations of Shakspeare, vol. i. p. 301.), speaking of the passage "Sans teeth, sans eyes," &c., shows that the word sans, introduced into our language as early as the time of Chaucer, has sometimes received on the stage a French pronunciation, which in the time of Shakspeare it certainly had not.
H. Henderson (Glasgow). Glass may be cemented for Photographic Baths, &c. with sealing-wax. We think our Correspondent would find Dr. Diamond's Collodion Process far simpler than that which he is following.

Gookins of Ireland, and Bitton, Gloucestershire (Vol. vi., p. 239.).—Will J. F. F. allow me the favour of his address, to enable me to transmit to him some papers relating to the Gookins? He will much oblige H. T. Ellacombe.—Clyst St. George, Devon.

ROSS'S PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAIT AND LANDSCAPE LENSES.—These lenses give correct definition at the centre and margin of the picture, and have their visual and chemical acting foci coincident.
Great Exhibition Jurors' Reports, p. 274.
"Mr. Ross prepares lenses for Portraiture having the greatest intensity yet produced, by procuring the coincidence of the chemical actinic and visual rays. The spherical aberration is also very carefully corrected, both in the central and oblique pencils."
"Mr. Ross has exhibited the best Camera in the Exhibition. It if furnished with a double achromatic object-lens, about three inches aperture. There is no stop, the field is flat, and the image very perfect up to the edge."

PHOTOGRAPHY.—XYLO-IODIDE OF SILVER, prepared solely by R. W. THOMAS, has now obtained an European fame; it supersedes the use of all other preparations of Collodion. Witness the subjoined Testimonial.
"122. Regent Street
"Dear Sir,—In answer to your inquiry of this morning, I have no hesitation in saying that your preparation of Collodion is incomparably better and more sensitive than all the advertised Collodio-Iodides, which, for my professional purposes, are quite useless when compared to yours.
"I remain, dear Sir,
"Yours faithfully,
"N. Henneman.
Aug. 30. 1852.
to Mr. R.W. Thomas."
MR. R. W. THOMAS begs most earnestly to caution photographers against purchasing impure chemicals, which are now too frequently sold at very low prices. It is to this cause nearly always that their labours are unattended with success.
Chemicals of absolute purity, especially prepared for this art, may be obtained from R. W. THOMAS, Chemist and Professor of Photography, 10. Pall Mall.
N.B.—The name of Mr. T.'s preparation, Xylo-Iodide of Silver, is made use of by unprincipled persons. To prevent imposition each bottle is stamped with a red label bearing the maker's signature.
