Page numbers explicitly referred to in the text are marked at their beginning by "[page ##]" on a separate line. The location of the illustrations in the text are marked by "[amdg##.gif]" on a separate line. I hope this etext inspires a wider interest in the origins of photography and in the modern practice of the Daguerreian Art.

[Updater's note: In this version, the above page numbering convention has been replaced by "{##}" sequences placed in line with the surrounding text.]
