again the natural way, however, seems to
be rather preferable. The following story
is from late Maine paper -
"Mrs. Galusha, of Monmouth, (AIaine) now SO
years of age has had within the last three
sight, (which she had been for some time deprived
has been perfectly restored that she is now able to
read the finest print without the aid of spectaces"
THE TOKEN FOR 1929. Mr.. 8. G. Good
rich, one of the most enterprising publishers
in the country, has made arrangements for
publishing the TOKEN for the approaching
Christmas and New-Year, in most splen-
did manner.
The following notice of it is from the
Boston Courier. We may add that, having
seen the work, we accord with the Courier
in its commendatory remarks, Excepting, of
course, that part which applies to our
selves):-
"Our readers will recollect that Mr. Goodrich,
the publisher of The Token last year announced his
intention Of continuing that work. The volume for
the coming Christmas is nearly ready for publica-
ton, and we have seen copy of it almost complet
ed. The work is to be done up in silk, and will
contain fourteen or fifteen engravings The number
of pages will be near 400.
We have compared the work with the best Eng
lish souvenirs and in paper and print it is far supe
riour to them. In the printing it is unrivaled. OF
the literary department cannot speak, as we have
read none Of the pieces Among the contributors,
however, see the names of many of our first writ
ers. Mr. Willis is the editor of the work and this
is sufficient pledge that it is well done in his de-
partment.
The engravings are, after all, the most important
part of such work as this and the Token, this
year, shows great advance in our artists. The
subjects various and interesting. In this respect,
the Token of this year has advantage any we
have seen. Several of the subjects relate Ameri-
can history and scenery and are from original paint
ings by American artists. The I" Seaman's Widow"
the former By sn GGhsasy are in his best Style
The Italian Boulevard, }" and Joshua commanding
the sun to stand still' from Martini by Kelly, are
both fine-the latter is truly admirable. The
Saturday Afternoon" by Ellis, is delightful
print The Gift by the same, is also beautiful.
The Cottage Legend" by Andrews" Capture of
Andre, }" by Tucker, the "Emigrants," by Hatch,
the Academick Grove" by Pelton, and the
Prairie on fire." from Fishers striking picture by
Gallaudet are all Of them and particularly the last,
very beautiful prints, by young artists, some Of
whose names we have never heard before. There
are other prints, but we cannot notice them now.
1t is one good effect of these works, that they
bring the best efforts of artists before the publick
and offer ready opportunity for the display of tai
emit. They stimulate to effort, and SO long as pub
fishers employ. only American artists, these works
must be considered of national importance.
We feel authorized to say, that the Token for 1929
will be in the highest degree worthy of publick pat
ronage. 1t cannot, on the whole, be inferiour to
any, and it certainly must be superior to most,
works Of this Sort"
