The exhibition consists of photographs by Mr. Ralph W. ' Robinson, and include amongst others a complete set of his series of portraits of academicians. » 2 * A CORRESPONDENT complains of the readings which accompany the generality of slides. Hesays, “The only imperfect thing about lanterns now: a-days is the milk-and-water styleof the readings. I feel assured that it is high time that we had the descriptions and stories written in a more lively strain.” . * 2 | ' AN adaptation for a lantern objective has been | introduced by Messrs. Perkin, Son and Rayment,
