Photography.  Daguerreotype Miniatures & Views.  E. D. Boylston, Having made himself fully acquainted with the process of taking Miniatures and Views by the Daguerreotype, and fitted up a Room at his Dwelling House with an expensive apparatus, is prepared to furnish Miniatures or Views, to any who may wish for them, at very low prices.

A recent improvement in the art, which he is now employing, ennables (sic.) him to procure a beautiful Photogenic impression in any weather, and in a much shorter time than has heretofore been employed; from Ten to Thirty Seconds being sufficient in any weather to give a clear, distinct and beautiful Miniature.  The rapidity of this process secures a more natural and lively expression than can be procured by the former method which required a sitting of from one to two minutes.

These Miniatures are produced by the action of light upon a silver plate, prepared by a chemical process; and consequently can never fail of being a perfect fac simile of the features as presented at the moment; and on this account are preferable to all other pictures.  They are painted by nature, and therefore must be perfect.

Pictures may be taken repeatedly upon the same plate, with but little additional trouble, so that by repeated trials, a satisfactory picture can hardly fail to be secured.  Satisfaction will in all cases be given, or no charge made.

Specimens may be seen as above, and also at the Cabinet Office.  Amherst, Jan. 19.
