Improvement In Daguerreotype—Mr. J. Dixon of Taunton, whose discoveries in the arts, we have had frequent occasion to notice, has effected (sic.) a most important improvement in the Daguerreotype. Hitherto to operation of this instrument has been confined to the production of pictures on silver plate properly prepared, but Mr. Dixon has succeeded in producing the effect upon lithographic stone, and in such a manner, that copies of the picture may be multiplied with as much ease and certainty as lithographic work, produced in the usual way.  This discovery is scarcely less valuable of interesting than that of Daguerre himself.
