My dear Talbot
finding that the photographic vol: on Scotland which you told me of last spring is not to be had of the booksellers & as I wish much to have it, as well as the Pencil of Nature – will you be so good as to add my name to your list of subscribers, & keep a copy for me – or tell me where to get one? –
The Pencil of N. goes on improving in beauty – & I was glad to be able to get some single pictures the other day in Bond St what an interesting & important discovery it is that Faraday has made –
with kind regards believe me yours very truly
