Read the following from The Trade Journal:

"To just such instructions as he meets with in this work, is the writer of this paragraph indebted for his own advancement from the journeyman's rank to the position he now occupies. The winter evenings spent in pursuing such studies, would fit many a man, now skilful as a workman, to take a higher stand among his a.s.sociates, and a more useful one in the community.

The whole book, which has been a very expensive one to get up, does great credit to the publishers, and when known generally, cannot but receive a cordial welcome from that valuable cla.s.s of men to whom we are indebted for the shelter afforded by 'the house we live in.'"

All persons who may wish to see their PORTRAITS TRUE TO LIFE, will do well to call at his Gallery, and procure one of these new gla.s.s pictures known as

AMBROTYPES.

The perfection to which this Art is brought, has induced the Subscriber to bestow more than usual pains on this branch of Photography, and he is now without a rival in the profession.

These AMBROTYPES are sealed with a durable cement, which renders them perfectly impervious to air, and even water itself. They are therefore

IMPERISHABLE.

This fact alone will recommend them before all other pictures taken by the Sun's rays, added to which is their wonderful truthfulness, being taken without reversal as in the ordinary Daguerreotype, and capable of being viewed in any angle of light.
