There is a chapter on mirrors which may possibly interest you. Though it is so small a book, it has taken nearly a year to collect the materials. Perhaps I may be able to expand it in a future edition. Yours sincerely, (signed) Francis Buckley - 18, Aubrey Walk, Kensington W. February 27th 1915.". Very Good/No d/w.
