Such is the eloquent apostrophe to photographywritten by the eminent publisher, L. Curmer, in hisprospectus of a magnificent edition of La Evan-giles, he is now publishing in Paris. Remarkableas are all the productions of this enthusiast, especial-ly his Imitation de Jems Christ his Heures de la reineAnne de Bretagne, this new edition of the Evangelistssurpasses them all, and this excellence is due entirelyto photography. A short description of this biblio-graphical curiosity may not be without THE BEST MECHANICAL FAFEB IN THE WOBLD.
