NOTICES

" We could not have believed it possible to add to the
high estimation in which we have always held the most grace-
ful artist of our age and country. Yet this series has en-
hanced it, and so we venture to affirm it will be with all who
examine it. The prints are so full of beauty ; so natural,
and yet so abundant in grace ; so freely conceived, and so
admirably composed ; the figures being so faultlessly grouped,
and every detail so applicable and so fitting, that we must
class the collection far above any book-illustrations of our
time. The volume of old John Bunyan, so embellished, is
worth a score of guadily-dressed quartos, that seem dwindled
by a sense of their own worthlessness. The drawings, more-
over, have been engraved as they ought to have been; it is
absolutely refreshing in these days of stipple-poverty to find
such men as Mitchell, Goodall, It. Graves, Sangster, Watt,
and Stocks, engraving book-plates, and reminding us of the
great old man whose pencil was so eloquent, whose concep-
tions were akin to inspiration, and who has left us a store of
pictorial lessons as great in extent as they are wonderful for
wisdom. Mr. Seeley has entitled himself to the gratitude of
all who love art, by raking up these hidden treasures and
placing them where tens of thousands may learn fromthem.
—Art Union, December, 1839.
" The lamented Stothard's charming and characteristic
designs from Bunyan's immortal work."--Literary Gazette,
December 28th, 1839.

" This is one of the most elegant volumes which have met
our eye for a long time. It is beautifully printed, and the
illustrations, which are numerous, comprising engravings en
copper (steel) and wood, are of the very first excellence. The
former are from the designs of Stothard, and they are, in our
opinion, his chefs d'&urra."—Asiatic Journal, fan., 1840.
" This is, without exception, the most beautifully-illus-
trated edition of any standard work with which we are ac-
quainted; and when we mention that it is embellished by an
admirably engraved series of no fewer than seventeen of the
noblest productions of the pencil of our British Raffaelle, the
late lamented Mr. Stothard, and is printed and edited in a
style worthy alike the name of John Bunyan, and the exquisite
' engravings with which the work is embellished, our readers
will not consider praise so unqualifiedas hyperbolical. As a set
of book illustrations, executed in the hey day of the painter's
power, they are unrivalled by any series of engravings which
have lately fallen under our notice."—United Service Ga-
zette, January 4, 1840.

thard never touched a subject without investing it
with some new grace of beauty pecular to himself.' Were
this not sufficiently evident from any of his antecedent works,
it would be amply proved by the present, wherein he seems
thoroughly to have caught the spirit of the author, and lent
an additional charm to pages replete with interest before."—
Parthenon, Jan. 25, 1810.

•
" This is beyond all comparison, the most beautiful edition
of Bunyan's great enchanter than has yet seen the light.
The typography, paper, and pictorial illustrations, are equal
to the best specimens of this improving age, and, to our
taste, the illustrations are more happy and less disfigured by
exaggeration, than any we have ever had the opportunity of
exainining."—Evangelical Magazine, February, 1840.
" Without exception, the best and most beautiful edition
extant. The plates are from Stothard's designs, and this is
an ample guarantee for their elegance and beauty."—
Oxford
Herald, January 25.
" --the great attraction of this edition are the illustrati%nit
which consist of a series of the best designs we ever saw
the pencil of Stothard, eminent as that artist was—we masadmirer
conclude with recommending this edition to every
of Bunyan, as being, at the same time,
the most us—ful one extant."—Hull Packet.

streams of the battle ; but the cloud had gathered, the
gloomy spot was on the horizon, and he asked them if the
star-spangled banner was to be left unprotected ? He wished
to see it protected in every spot, in every quarter of the land,
and shielded and guarded by the arms of the brave of their
country."

The Bank Bill had not passed the Senate. It had been
laid aside for a day or two, in order that the Loan Bill might
pass without delay. The opposition -did not, however, seem
disposed to meet the wishes of the ministerialists, notwith-
standing the latter urged, as a reason for expedition in the
passage of the measure, that the national treasury was

nearly empty.
Mr. Everett, of Massachusetts, had been nominated by
the President Minister to London.

The prodUce, money, and stock markets had not under-
gone material change in the short interval between the 16th
and the 18th ult. The shares in the Bank of the United
States had fallen to 17.!.

It appears, says a Washington correspondent of the
Herald, that Mr. Webster has now another gordian knot to
cut that presents even more difficulties than the case of
M`Leod. The vicegerent of Christ on earth, his holiness
the Pope of Rome, in the exercise of his apostolic functions,
called the Bishop of Detroit to appear before him in the year
1838 or '39. The latter, in obedience to the divine mandate,
repaired to Rome and kissed his holiness's great toe with all
due humility, as becomes an orthodox christian of that old
school, and a citizen of these United States ! It appears our
poor Yankee Bishop (Reese) was thrust into prison in the
holy inquisition, and urged to resign his apostolic functions
of pastor of the diocese of Detroit. tie refused, and con-
tinues to languish in the dungeon of the holy inquisition,
cut off front all communication With his country and friends.
This will be officially communicated to the department of
state to-morrow by a catholic priest, who says our worthy
fellow-citizen is suffering this prolonged incarceration owing
to certain calumnies of his colleagues in the United States,
who have been accessary to his imprisonment, and have
known the fact ever since its consummation, but have care-
fully kept it a secret from the laity in this country, and espe-
cially from the flock of the sufferer. A citizen of the United
States called to Rome to be judged by his holiness for acts
alleged to have been committed in the United States, is an
anomaly, at least in the history of our country.
