Notices to Correspondents.
Notes on Books, &c. In consequence of the number of Replies waiting for insertion, we have thought it right this week to omit our usual Notes on Books, &c.
J. L. (Islington). The ordinary Spirits of Wine, sixty over proof, is that referred to. The Ether is to be common rectified Ether, and not the washed Ether.
A Constant Reader is informed that Stereoscopic views may be taken in any Camera. We must refer him for answers to his other Queries to any of the numerous dealers in such objects.
Inquirer (Edinburgh)'s Photographic difficulty shall be solved next week.
H. H. H. (Ashburton). It is only some specimens of Gutta Percha that can be acted upon by Collodion, which then takes up a very minute portion of a waxy substance which occurs in some Gutta Percha, and some other eastern products. The advantages derived from its use are very questionable.
T. N. B.'s offer is accepted with thanks.
