Abstract
THIS is the first part of an encyclopædic work on the history and development of photographic methods. Its general object is to set forth, not only full particulars of the methods now in actual use, but also a complete story of the gradual improvements which have led up to them. There is little doubt that the rapid progress which has been made in photography has been largely due to the fact that the whole subject is so new, that every investigator who sets himself to work soon becomes familiar with what has gone before, and is thus in a position to consider what further advances are possible. It is certainly not too much to expect that such a work as is contemplated by M. Fabre will do a great deal towards simplifying the acquirement of this knowledge.
Traité Encyclopédique de Photographie.
