Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Memorial Volume Containing an Account of the Photographic Researches of Ferdinand Hurter and Vero C. Driffield: Being a Reprint of Their Published Papers, Together With a History of Their Early Work and a Bibliography of Later Work on the Same Subject
Photographers and manufacturers of photographic materials throughout the world responded liberally to the appeal. The first two objects have been already carried out, and I have been requested by the r.p.s. To edit the memorial volume.
A study of the manuscripts led me to conclude that an account of their early work, preceding the publication of the classic paper of 1890, would be a considerable help to the understanding of their views. I have tried to give such an account as far as possible in their own words as taken from their note books, and to this, as well as to the various reprints, I have appended references to the original manuscripts now in the care of the Royal Photo graphic Society.
Dr. H. Stanley Allen, m.a., has been kind enough to contribute a review of Dr. Hurter's mathematical work as found in his note books, which should be read in conjunction with the published papers.
