t Number
on Thursday, and of the number of_ REPLIES TO MINOR QUERIES _waiting for
insertion, we have been compelled to omit our_ NOTES ON BOOKS, &c.
T. M. B. _The oft-quoted lines_--
"So down thy hill, romantic Ashbourn, glides,
The Derby dilly, carrying THREE insides," &c.--
_will be found in the_ Poetry of the Antijacobin, _at the close of the
Second Part of_ The Loves of the Triangles.
J. D. _Where is the sentence of which you ask an explanation to be found?
Send the context, or farther particulars._
C. E. F. _and_ T. D. (Leeds). _Your inquiry as to the best mode of
constructing a glass chamber for photographic purposes will be answered in
our next._
MR. JOHN COOK _has sent us a plan for taking cheaper pictures for
stereoscopic purposes by means of a common camera, and the substitution for
the ordinary ground glass of a piece of plate glass and a piece of paper,
on which the outline of the figure is to be traced. When one sketch is thus
made, the camera is to be moved fifteen or sixteen inches to the right or
left, and a second drawing made in the same way. The plan is a very obvious
one; and though adapted for those who can draw and have an ordinary camera,
it presents few advantages to photographers._
H. H. H. (Ashburton). _Were we to recommend you to any particular maker for
your collodion tent, we should deviate from our rule of impartiality where
several vendors are concerned, and we would therefore refer you to our
advertising columns._
W. N. (Kingston). _We are sorry we cannot afford space for answering all
your Queries on the making of gun cotton. A portion made according to Dr.
Diamond's formulary has been forwarded to your address; and if it is not_
entirely _soluble, then the fault is in your ether._
_A few complete sets of_ "NOTES AND QUERIES," Vols. i. _to_ vii., _price
Three Guineas and a Half, may now be had; for which early application is
desirable._
"NOTES AND QUERIES" _is published an noon on Friday, so that the Country
Booksellers may receive Copies in that night's parcels, and deliver them to
their Subscribers on the Saturday._
