TESTIMONIALS.
The following extracts from a large number of highly flattering Testimonials from distinguished Artists and others:
M. A. Root, an eminent Daguerreian, Philadelphia says, "I can freely say yours is, in my opinion, a most valuable Treatise on the Art of Daguerreotype."
From the Albany Express, "We would recommend this useful work to all practising the Art."
E. Jacobs, a celebrated Operator, New Orleans, says, "I have perused the work with much gratification as being much needed in the Art. I can sell a large number to pupils."
From the Ulster Telegraph, Saugerties, N. Y.: "Those acquainted with the Christian character, and extraordinary skill of Mr. H. in Daguerreotyping, need no recommend from us. His pictures are perfectly exquisite, and his modes of operating of the most simple and scientific character. The Book will be a treasure to those engaged in the Art. It is one of those rare works which is as good as its title-page, and we heartily recommend it to the Daguerreian fraternity."
