Manuscript / Paper Collectible
3pp, 18mo. Bifolium. In good condition, on lightly aged paper, with the reverse of the second leaf laid down on part of a leaf from an autograph album, which carries a biographical caption in a contemporary hand. Mrs Carter Hall's connection with the St James's Gazette is unclear, but she has evidently asked Hunt to contribute to the magazine. Hunt begins his reply: 'Dear Mrs Hall | there is no scarcity of subjects - my difficulty is to select the subject which I can deal with in a satisfactory manner & which shall be, at once, instructive & entertaining.' He proceeds to give a short summary of how he would treat two subjects 'upon which I could write fairly well', 'The Balance of Nature' and 'Light and Life'. After the second he writes: 'A third subject strikes me. Just now the Scientific World are excited by the Discoveries made by Kirkhoff & Bunsen as to the Composition of the Sun. I could give you a readable paper containing all the new facts - which we might call | The Composition of the Sun | or | The Sun and the Earth'. He concludes by stating that he is 'really desirous of aiding you - to the best of my powers. I regard the St James's with feelings of affection - I find it everywhere'.

First Edition
Decorative Cloth. Condition: Fine. First Edition of this key scientific study of the action and effect of solar rays on various chemicals used in photography, and generally considered the first history of that art, uncut and entirely unopened in the original binding. Demy 8vo (222 x 139mm): vii,[1],303,[1],32pp, with folding hand-coloured frontispiece and the publisher's advertisements dated April 1844. Original brown blind-stamped ribbed cloth by Edmonds & Remnants (their ticket to lower inside corner of rear paste-down), pale yellow end papers. Book plate of Robert Were Fox of Falmouth (1789-1877), geologist, natural philosopher, inventor, and fellow of the Royal Society. A spectacular example, soundly bound and virtually pristine. Gernsheim 668. Sennett 96. Eder, pp. 269, 325-26. Johnson (Nineteenth-Century Photography) H1157. Bolton, p. 547 (citing second edition). Boni, p. 140. Roosens & Salu 7952 (noting second [1854] and third editions [1862]). In the preface, Hunt acknowledges help on the early history of photography he has received from Sir J. F. W. Herschel and Professor Sir Charles Wheatstone. He had already written, in 1841, the first general treatise on photography, A Popular Treatise on the Art of Photography and carried out numerous photographic and photochemical experiments. He was a founder of the Calotype Club, of the Photographic Society of Great Britain, and of the London Photographic Society, and became a fellow of the Royal Society in 1854. Hunt, who lived in Falmouth, was a friend of the Fox family; both he and Robert Fox were members of the Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, and Hunt went into business with Fox's brother Charles. Hunt probably presented this copy to Robert Fox, who, in view of its fine, unopened, and unread state, evidently did not share Hunt's interest in the new art form of photography. N. B.
