THE << SOULT AND WELLINGTON

SUN."

Of all the golden opinions bestowed on )Marshal Sonit
during his late sojourn, we doubt whether in any case they
‘terc so flatteringly or faithfully expressed ups in the waste!'
piece of art which (thanks to the inventive genius of I‘ll'
I\fordo- Young!) now lies on our table in the shape of a,
double number of The Sun newspaper. The engravieP

Elig)isb hero, which is truth itself.—Fife Herald. J.
Mr. .h
tog has, with true spirit and enterprise, publish°
a" Double Suit," containing exquisite steel portraits of. Mari
shul Soult and the Duke of Wellington. A more gracefa
tribute to the valour of the two countries cannot hare been
designed—nor one which will tend to record the reception
the veteran Marshal has met with in England. It is highil
creditable to Mr. Young, and we trust that the means 11°
has placed in the reach of thousands of paying bongnir t°l
the brave will be extensively patronised. The eniTraviaP.
are splendid works of art, and may adorn any dra°,!°f,,i'.
room. The " Coronation Sun," ornamented with a fill°
portrait of the Queen, is now to be had golden on
sides. It is indeed an admirable work of art, and is a ntlrtir
era in the history of the newspaper press.—HO Adratiser"
We have to acknowledge the receipt of a cop}' °f the;
" Double Sun," as well as a copy of the " Golden Stft's
printed all over in gold. The profile portrait of the Once,
in the " Golden Sun" surpassed everything of the kind Pr "f
duced before, but the " Double Sun" contains portrait' 0.,
Marshal Soult and the Duke of Wellington, which
the art of medallion engraving to a still higher pitnh• to
compare the beauty of those splendid specimens of art e,
the usual style of newspaper illustrations, would be aalp a
thing like a comparison between a statue by Chantrei Btl
a wooden figure at a tobacconist's door.—Silurian.
The Proprietor of this most enterprising print has trans
mitted us a copy of his Paper of the .sth instant, contaiaTre,
two splendid medallion portraits—the one of Soult and trif
other of Wellington. They ;ire most exquisite specimen led
art ; and, with the " Golden Sun," of which an unparalle,
number of copies have been thrown off, are a surprisl
instance of what can be accomplished by newspaper 01°
Ing.—Kilmarnock Journal.
The tasteful and splendid style in which The Sun Lonl
Evening Paper, administers to the gratification of
readers, by the graphic embellishments which occasiona'
adorn its pages, entitles the spirited .Proprietor (Mr. gurut°o
Young) to the notice of his provincial contemporaries,
et
whom he is always impartially liberal ; whether the.ohier
of his obliging attention be to furnish them with a rAPid
executed report of some public proceeding, or with a ,1
rect likeness of some illustrious personage. The beautiful
medallion of Queen Victoria, which decorated the journd
in question on the evening of her Majesty's Coronation, allot
which, together with the entire account. of that martnificeity
ceremonial, was printed in gold, wa.sa compliment totitnYste
as elegant as it was novel ; and must not have less aso
Dished than pleased those most acquainted with to
difficulties of such an undertaking, by its successe
and brilliant exhibition of typographic skill. We it;go
now to acknowledge a presentation copy of The nye
of August 5, containing two noble portraits—the
of the Duke of Wellington and the other of IVlztrshal setio
—" To commemorate the remarkable circumstaoce oftbetia

charges of an equally serious nature. Although such 'Viz e CO'
