To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Toning. — To tone proceed as before directed, toning first one or two test prints. If you find that the whites bleach add more borax. Tone until the highlights are clear and the shadows a bright cherry red. This bath must not be too strong and yet must not tone too slowly. The proper tone will be reached in from two to four min- utes. When your prints reach the proper stage, that is, when the prints are clear, place them in fresh water. Most failures are caused from over-toning in the gold bath... ; so work cautiously and tone only sufficiently to remove the yellow from the print, leaving the shadows very red but clear and crisp. Always judge the prints by looking through them by transmitted light. 413. As you proceed with your toning occasionally pick the prints over in clear water, so they will not become matted together. If the batch of prints is an unusually large one, occasionally change the water. As a large num- ber of prints will carry a considerable amount of gold from the toning bath into the wash water in which the prints may continue toning, a change of the wash water is recommended after half the batch has been toned.
