_is from Dryden's_ All for Love.

J. L. (Islington). DR. DIAMOND _informs us that he procured his naphtha
from Messrs. Simpson and Maule, of Kennington, but he would not advise the
use of varnish so made. It is apt to dry up in round spots, and which
sometimes print from the negative. He also adds, that one ounce of the
collodio-amber varnish as recommended by him will, with care, from its
great fluidity and ready-flowing qualities, effectually varnish upwards of
thirty glass negatives of the quarter plate size: thus the real expense is
very inconsiderable._

F. S. A. _Photography is perfectly applicable to the copying of MSS. or
printed leaves, either smaller, of the same size, or larger than the
original, the only requisite beyond a good lens being a camera of
sufficient length for a long focus. A plain surface exposed in front of a
lens requires a range behind it of the same distance to produce an equal
size copy; a magnified image being produced by a nearer approach to the
lens, and a smaller the farther the object is distant. Prints are often
copied by mere contact, without the use of any lens whatever. As a brother
F. S. A.,_ DR. DIAMOND _will be happy to give you some personal
instructions as to your requirements._
