Excerpt from A Poor Man's Photography at the Great Pyramid: In the Year 1865; Compared With That of the Ordnance Survey Establishment, Subsidized by London Wealth and Under the Orders of Co; Sir Henry James, R. E., F. R. S. Director-General of the Ordnance Survey, at the Same Place Four Years Afterwards: A Discour To set forth, therefore, before the public what are the real powers for accuracy still existing in that grandest of all Primeval Monuments, the absolutely unique Great Pyramid - and in so far to rescue its present-day descriptions and modern character from the scientific disgrace just now sought to be inflicted upon it; as well as to demonstrate the service that good and faithful photography in the future may be of there - this is the chief object of the following pages.

E., F. R. S. Director-General of the Ordnance Survey, at the Same Place Four Years Afterwards: A Discour After having acceded to request, and printed, as follows, my recent discourse before the Edinburgh Photographic Society in a somewhat revised and extended form, I could not but recognise with more or less of dismay, that although my own ideas of my photographs at the Great Pyramid in 1865 have been from the first, that they were lamentably faulty, imperfect, and unequal - causing me to yearn, though in vain, through each succeeding year, for any opening whereby I might try to replace them with some better attempts - yet in this discourse I have been insensibly led on by the argument to be speaking almost all the time as it were in defense of these very photographs, or as though I thought much more highly of them than I really do.
