evidently put this construction upon the
verse under consideration. The Chaldee paraphrase runs thus:

[Chaldee: WMN BTR D'TPCH MSHKY TH' D']
[Chaldee: WMBSRY 'CHMY TWB 'LH'::]

"And after my skin is healed, this shall be;
And out of my flesh shall I see the return of God."

[Chaldee: 'TPCH] does not mean here _inflated_, as some suppose. The Syriac
version translates the word [Hebrew: NQPW] by the word [Syriac: 'TKRK],
which means _surround_, _wind round_. The Vulgate has the following version
of the patriarch's prophetic exclamation:

"Et rursum circumdabor pelle mea,
Et in carne mea videbo Deum meum."

Jerome evidently knew not what to do with the word [Hebrew: Z'T], and
therefore omitted it. He might have turned it to good account by
translating it _erit hoc_.

The above note has been penned upwards of five years ago, and I transcribe
it now, without a single alteration, for the benefit of MR. C. MANSFIELD
INGLEBY and his friends.

PHOTOGRAPHIC CORRESPONDENCE.

_Photographic Experiences._--We have received from our valued correspondent
DR. MANSELL, of Guernsey, a suggestion to which we are happy to give
publicity, and to the promotion of which we shall be very glad to lend the
columns of "N. & Q." Our photographic readers are probably aware that the
Talbotype process is increasing in favour; we have recorded DR. DIAMOND'S
strong testimony to its advantages. MR. LLEWELLYN has just described his
process (which is strikingly similar) in the _Photographic Journal_; and in
a recent number of _La Lumiere_ the VICOMTE VIGIER confirms the views of
our countrymen. DR. MANSELL, who has given our readers the benefit of his
experience, well remarks that in all his acquaintance with physical
science, he knows nothing more remarkable than that MR. FOX TALBOT should
not only have discovered this beautiful process, but likewise have given it
to the world (in 1841) in so perfect a form, that the innumerable
experiments of a dozen years have done nothing essential to improve it, and
the best manipulators of the day can add nothing to it. It is, however,
with a view to testing some of the points in which photographers differ, so
as to establish which are best, that DR. MANSELL suggests, that a table

1. The time of exposure in the camera, in a bright May sun,
2. The locality,
