Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Practical Manual of Photography: Containing Full and Plain Directions for the Economical Production of Really Good Daguerreotype Portraits, and Every Other Variety of Photographic Pictures According to the Latest Improvements, Also the Injustice and Validity of the Patent Considered
We should hope there is sufficient spirit, and a sufficient sense of j astice, among our scientific men, to resist the ?agrant abuse which it is sought to continue, because, forsooth, a patent has been enrolled. We suppose that the question will ultimately assume a definite shape among the stern realities of the law. We can only believe that its settlement will be on so firm a basis, as to ensure justice to the scientific world in future times. That a precedent will be created, calculated to warn speculators from meddling with the rights of science, either in a narrow or illiberal spirit, and calculated to preserve an infant art from being handled either in an, improper, or in a rapacious manner.
