X PREFACE. With these facts in view, I have long thought that a thorough guide to the working of the optical lantern, the preparation of its diagrams and pictures, the colouring of the same, the production of photo- micrographs, and everything pertaining to lantern work, would fill a vacant place in technical literature. Beyond the two or three shilling handbooks which have appeared, there is nothing of the kind procurable; and in the space available in such books, it is obvious that the various matters to which I have referred cannot be sufficiently dealt with. Some of the matter here printed has already appeared in The Amateur Photographer, and in The Camera. The author is indebted to the proprietors of both those periodicals for their courtesy in allowing both text and cuts to be reproduced in this work. T. C. HEPWORTH. 45, ST. AUGUSTINE'S EOAD, CAMDEN SQUARE, LONDON, N.W. November, 1888.
