Excerpt from The Photography of Coloured Red Objects This book represents an attempt to put clearly the theory underlying the photography of coloured objects, and the application of that theory to those branches of practice which are of the most immediate importance. The need for such a book has been impressed upon me by my daily correspondence, and I have hopes that it may serve as a kind of text-book of the subject for many of my friends. While not employing purely scientific nomenclature and phraseology, I have made no attempt to be "practical, " believing as I do, that the application of an ounce of accurate knowledge is worth a ton of unreasoning practice. I have also made no pretence as to being unbiassed, I have frankly discussed the products of my own firm, but I hope that the loss of generalisation caused by this procedure will be compensated by the advantage to be gained from definite information. It would not be possible, for instance, usefully to discuss the distribution of sensitiveness in "red-sensitive plates, " whereas it is quite possible to discuss the distribution of sensitiveness in any particular plate. I am also likely to be biassed in argument, but I have not allowed myself to be consciously biassed, and have tried to be as fair as possible. I am very much obliged to many friends for the services chronicled below. Chapter VI. on "Photography for Reproduction, " was written by Mr. A. J. Newton.
