Although he had not been much to the foreduring the past few years on account of rheumatism, the im-portance of his work grows from day to day, and there isno other man who has contributed so much to the advancementof photography in all of its branches as Sir William de WiveslieAbney, , Hon. , , , etc. Hisprincipal works are: Instruction in Photography Action of Light in PhotographyTreatise on Photography Color Measurement and MixturePhotography with Emulsions Trichromatic Theory of Color 18. RESTING. p. F. SOUIER. 19 and large numbers of papers to societies and the periodicalpress. It is to be hoped that these will be collected into oneor two volumes by the Royal Photographic Society as amemorial volume. In discussing the work of Abney in theRoyal Photographic Societys Journal, Mr. W. B. Fergusonsays: The great work done by Abney for the science andart of photography during the last sixty years can only beestimated by those who have the ability to understand and theindustry to read through numerous papers and communicationsto the photographic and scientific periodical press. Of greatscientific insight and breadth of views imbued with the truespirit of research and of indefatigable industry, he was notonly an able experimenter, but moreover possessed the powerof communicating to others in a clear and intelligible mannerthe bearings of the results of his experiments. The advance-ment of Photography owes much to him, and a study of hissci
