VI THE ADVANCE OF PHOTOGRAPHY complete and is of such interest, that it has with slight alterations been adopted in toto. I should like to express my thanks to the many firms which have so readily come to my assistance in the loan of blocks, etc., for the illustrations, and especially to thank the following gentlemen : — Professor Hale for the excellent photographs obtained at Mount Wilson, Professor R. W. Wood for the photographs obtained with invisible light, Mr T. Thorne Baker for the illustrations of the Korn process and Telectograph process, Mr C. 0. Bannister for microphotographs of metallurgical specimens, Messrs Swain & Co. for illustrations of the three-colour process and the effect of line screens, Messrs H. Cox & Co. for the radiographs, Messrs Ilford for the illustrations concerning orthochromatic plates, and Messrs Martin Hood & Larkin for the fine collotype which appears as frontispiece and the illustration of lithographic work. A. E. Garrett. London, June 1911.
