R. V. T. An excellent tract may be had for a few pence on The History of Pews, a paper read before the Cambridge Camden Society, 1841: see also "N. & Q.," Vol. iii., p. 56., and Vol. viii., p. 127.
C. K. P. (Bishop's Stortford). We candidly admit that your results upon waxed paper are much like our own, for no certainty has at present attended our endeavours. If the paper is made sensitive, then it behaves exactly as yours has done; and if, following other formulæ, we use a less sensitive paper, then the exposure is so long and tedious that we are not anxious to pursue Photography in so "slow a phase". Why not adopt and abide by the simplicity of the calotype process as given in a late Number? In the writer's possession we have seen nearly a hundred consecutive negatives without a failure.
W. S. P. (Newcastle-upon-Tyne). Filtered rain-water is far the best to use in making your iodized paper. The appearances which you describe in all probability depend upon the different sheets resting too firmly upon one another, so that the water has not free and even access to the whole sheet.
H. J. (Norwich). Turner's paper is now quite a precarious article; a specimen which has come to us of his recent make is full of spots, and the negative useless. Towgood's is admirable for positives, but it does not appear to do well for iodizing. We hope to be soon able to say something cheering to Photographers upon a good paper!
Errata.—Mr. P. H. Fisher wishes to correct an error in his article on "The Court-house of Painswick." Vol. viii., p. 596., col. 2., for "The lodge, an old wooden house," read "stone house." Also in his article in Vol. ix., p. 8., col. 2., for "Rev. —— Hook," read "Rev. —— Stock."
