Description
Excerpt from A Manual of Photographic Chemistry: Including the Practice of the Collodion Process
IN attempting to impart knowledge on any subject, it is not sufficient that the writer Should himself be acquainted with that which he professes to teach. Even supposing such to be the case, yet much Of the success Of his effort must depend upon the manner in which the information is conveyed; for as, on the one hand, a system Of extreme brevity always fails Of its Object, so, on the other, a mere compilation Of facts imperfectly explained tends only to confuse the reader.
A middle course between these extremes is perhaps the best to adopt that is, to make selection Of certain funda mental points, and to explain them with some minuteness, leaving others Of less importance to be dealt with in a more summary manner, or to be altogether omitted.
