There are several societies recently established in Europe composed of learned and scientific men, who are in every way engaged in investigating the Science, and we may look for improvement from that quarter, as well as from our numerous resources at home. In the former case our facilities for early and reliable information cannot well be surpassed.
Ambrotypes.—Humphrey's Journal contains everything novel which appears upon this subject, and has already presented more new, important; and original matter than can be found in any other place.
Many are the letters we have received during the term of the last volume, in which the writer has stated that a single number of Humphrey's Journal has contained information of more value to him than "several times the amount paid for the entire volume."
Our resources have grown up around us, and our facilities for procuring, as well as distributing, all such facts and improvements as will benefit as well as instruct all who have the progress of the Art at heart, are as ample as they can well be made.
The future volumes will be abundantly furnished with original writings from persons of standing in the scientific world; and the practical Photographer will here find a full account of such improvements as may from time to time develope themselves.
From the Editor's long practical experience in the Heliographic Science, he will be enabled to present the subject in a plain, clear and concise manner.
