First American edition. 12mo., [15]-224 pp., 47 wood engravings in text, plus 24 page list of publications. Ex-libary, with stamping on the title page, and occionally in text. The front free fly is lacking a portion of the lower half, and there is a bookplate affixed to the front pastedown, with evidence of a library pocket removed from the rear pastedown. The text is very good. Bound in the publisher's textured red cloth titled on the front board and spine in gilt lettering. The crown is chipped; otherwise, the binding is fine and bright. In all, a very good or better copy. This is the first American edition that combines the two writings of Croucher, published in Britain in 1845, and the English translation of Le Gray, 1850, and reprints Frederick Scott Archer's article on collodion from "THE CHEMIST". It contains detailed information on the daguerreotype, and most of the early photographic paper processes.

Fourth edition with additions. 16mo., 48 pp., errata, illustrations. Half morocco and cloth with original front wrapper bound in. Slight staining and soiling, with creasing to a few leaves and the blank margin of 4 leaves trimmed 1/8 inch shorter than the remainder of the text; several corners are chipped or rounded from wear with no loss of text. A good copy. This manual describes the calotype and other processes on paper, including ammonia as an additive, coloring paper photographs, and a new method of preparing positive paper photographs. The last four pages are a priced list of photographic apparatus, chemicals and materials available by order from Thomas and Richard Willats, London. The author's note on the verso of the title page indicates that the third edition consisted of 1000 copies. WorldCat locates only two copies, both at the British Library.
