Abstract
THE first edition of this book was published in 1889, since when a great deal has happened in the world of photography, and the size of the “Dictionary of Photography” has increased accordingly. The sixteenth edition, as mentioned in the preface, has been published largely because of the unexpectedly rapid exhaustion of the previous edition; but the opportunity has been taken to correct errors and generally bring the subject matter up to date, though relatively little advance has been made during the interval.
