THE PHO'T'OGRAPHIC PATENT RIGHT.
We have hnn requested to publish the following cor-
respondence bstween the Presidents of the Royal Society
and the Royal. Academy, and the patentee of the art of
photography upon paper, with the view of definitively
settling a question of considerable interest to artists and
amateurs of photography in general:—
No. 1.

London, July, 1852,

Dear Sir,—Di addressing to you this letter, we believe
that we speak .the sentiments of many persons eminent
for their love o.f science and art.
The art of p holography upon paper, of which you
are the invent(); has arrived at such a degree of per-
fection that it must soon become of national importance;
and we are anxiously that, as the art itself originated in
England, it should also receive its further perfection and
development in this country. At present, however,
although England continues to take the lead in some
branches of the art, yet in others the French are un-
questionably making more rapid progress than we are.
