THE BRITISH JOURNAL PHOTOGRAPHIC ALMANAC AND PHOTOGRAPHER’S DAILY COMPANION FOR 1872. Edited by J. T. TAYLOR.—The volume embraces every subject that can be of any use to the Amateur and Professional Photographer. The Editor has been assisted by numerous _collaborateurs_, embracing nearly all the leading writers connected with the Art-Science of Photography. Some idea may be formed of the large body of interesting and important information brought together within the compass of this Volume from the fact that upwards of Sixty practical workers in Photography have contributed original articles to this issue of THE BRITISH JOURNAL PHOTOGRAPHIC ALMANAC.

No charge is made for inserting these announcements; but in no case do we insert any article merely _offered for sale_, that being done at the small cost of one shilling in our advertising pages. This column is devoted to exchanges only. It is imperative that the name of the person proposing the exchange be given (although not necessarily for publication, if a _nom de plume_ be thought desirable), otherwise the notice will not appear.

GEO. DANIEL.—Professor Wheatstone was the inventor of the reflecting stereoscope. An account of his invention was published in 1838 in the _Philosophical Transactions_.

H. W.—The _carte_ enclosed is a very pretty one, both in respect of the subject and the treatment. Had the oval been omitted and the dome alone used the effect would have been better.
