Excerpt from First Step in Photography: Tells How to Make Photographs

In presenting this little book to the reader I assume two things first, that he knows absolutely nothing about photography; and second, that he is anxious to become acquainted with the art. Not only shall I suppose him to be ignorant of the very first principle, but I will take it for granted that he does not even know the mean ing of the various terms used by. Photographers, and will take the liberty of explaining. As it occurs, each word that is'used by them in a special sense. All trades and professions use words in a special way, these being generally known as trade or technical terms. Now, technical terms are usually not very appropriate, for as a rule they do not express exactly what is understood by the general meaning of the word, and such being the case, I feel I shall be pardoned if I assume the reader to be completely ignorant of the meaning of the various technical terms used in photog raphy.
