the demand was abnormal, not only was the entire edition sold out, but we borrowed from dealers all we could reach, several hundred, and were still unable to supply the demand, and in fact the mails even now call for copies which we are unable to supply. This year we will have an extra large edition so that we feel confident of anticipating all demands.

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT "PHOTOGRAPHING IN OLD ENGLAND."

The Montclair Herald, of Montclair, N. J., where Mr. Adams has his winter home, in a two column review of the book in which they quote freely from it, goes on

to say:

"Mr. Adams is a recognized authority on both sides of the Atlantic. On the request of his publishers, The Baker & Taylor Company, of New York, who published also his other works, these letters have now been collected, revised, and enlarged, and, together with much additional matter and many new pictures, have been made into a very handsome and interesting book."

The Montclair Times says: "Mr. Adams is a well-known expert with the camera, and his pictures are very beautiful and give great distinction to the book."

The White Mountains Republic-Journal, of Littleton, N. H., where Mr. Adams has his summer home, writes that "Mr. Adams is the very best authority on the art of photography. He is also a fluent writer, and the combination of this ability is in evidence in the book."

The Littleton Courier says: "It is a volume which will be read with delight by those who have traveled over the same historic ground, the pages being impregnated with the spirit and breath of this romantic and picturesque land. Mr. Adams, as is well known, is a master photographer and nearly all the illustrations are made from photographs which he took on the trip. The descriptive writing, in which Mr. Adams so excels, is full of color and delightfully appreciative, though in the preface he modestly disclaims all pretence at literature. Like his other books, the volume is marked by literary style."

book in The London Daily Telegraph, says: "The poet has told us that it is good for us to try and see ourselves as others see us. This may in some measure be done in an exceedingly pleasant manner by turning to a new book, 'Photographing in Old England,' which just reaches me from America. It is from the pen of Mr. W. I. Lincoln Adams, editor of the PHOTOGRAPHIC TIMES, of America, etc., and is illustrated largely by reproductions of the author's photographs. The author, in a series of nine letters, describes his impression of Windsor to Oxford, Shakespeare's country, land of the Doones, etc., in an unaffected manner, which at once captivates one's sympathetic confidence in his sincerity. Having read the book from cover to cover, I cannot refrain from expressing the hope that the author will pay us a second visit, and that he will have more time at his disposal. I gather that his visit to the English Lakes was of a most fleeting kind and that it was in weather unfavorable to photography, so he had to buy rather than take his own photographs. 'It was well I did so, for the rain which usually falls some time, at least, during every day in English Lakeland, made no exception of this day.' That it rains most days in the Lakes is, I know, a common, but wrong, impression, which I would correct on behalf of brother camera workers. I have spent half-a-dozen summer holidays in the Lakes, and find that though it is a rainy part, it is seldom that one cannot get something with the camera every day. On my first visit to the Lakes we had not a drop of rain for three weeks. I can quite understand Mr. Adams being somewhat disappointed with this part of England, for a long day's bad weather in this country is terribly depressing, and everything seems dead and dull. But one has to

"PHOTOGRAPHING IN OLD ENGLAND."

The above is the title of a handsome 4to volume, cloth, decorated, full gilt, that reached us recently. The sub-title reads: "With some snapshots in Scotland and Wales." It is illustrated with a wealth of reproductions of handsome photographs; and, in addition to the instructive text, which takes the form of letters from a traveler, there is a chapter giving practical hints and suggestions to those intending to do photographic work on a like tour abroad. The author, W. I. Lincoln Adams, is well known to the photographers of the country as having long been the editor of THE PHOTOGRAPHIC TIMES, in fact, the chapters making up the book were written as letters to the readers of that magazine in 1909, and published therein, together with most of the illustrations. The book is one that will appeal to all photographers and particularly to those interested in England or in trips through that country. The price is two dollars and fifty cents. Published by the Photographic Times Publishing Association, 135 West Fourteenth Street. -Camera Craft.

At the National Convention, held in Milwaukee last month, the "Cooke Lens Souvenir" was a beautiful photograph of the Metropolitan Tower, made with a Cooke Lens. The detail to the picture is grand.

For hot weather troubles Cramer plates are unsurpassed.

A circular from another contemporary urges dealers to place orders for copies on sale, as all unsold copies are "returnable." Now we think our readers will bear us cheerful witness that we are not given to using our space in boasting about our circulation. But in this connection we do wish to say that all copies sent to news, or other dealers by us are sold outright, and are not returnable. Our entire edition each month, with the exception of the few copies (less than a hundred),

which are retained for binding, filing, etc., go into immediate and permanent circulation. None are returned, or are "returnable."

A short time ago we received from G. Gennert a sample box of the Imperial NonFilter plate for experimental tests. This is an orthochromatic plate with which is incorporated a light filter in order to secure in a greater degree the advantages of orthochromatism without unduly lengthening the exposure. The emulsion is a very rapid one and the plate is especially suitable for landscape or outdoor photography, where the greater actinic power of the blue rays prevents the proper rendering of greens and yellows.

The plates were used in the course of a photographic ramble without lengthening the exposure or using a ray screen, and were treated in a stock M.-Q. developer without any special precautions, and the results obtained on all were satisfactory. The effect of the incorporated filter was shown in the negatives by the presence of clouds even in cases where dense foreground shadows necessitated rather lengthy exposures, and the plate proved to be one which can be recommended to the photographer who is artistic and ambitious to attain results beyond those of the average

amateur.

The fastest trains are brought to a standstill, running horses are arrested in action without a blur, flying birds may be photographed on the wing, athletes are caught in mid-air with the IA Speed Kodak; in fact, nothing moves too fast when used at its highest speed. When fitted with a Zeiss-Kodak Anastigmat Lens it makes an ideal instrument for all-around work.

As a reminder of the happy hours spent on the lake or river or at the seashore, send a Velox postcard print of the flashlight of the camp fire or the snapshot of the bathers. It will be a pleasant recollection. ✩ ✩ ✩
