I've consulted
In Speaking Of our EngraviGgs, we hcg leave TO
call attention to the f,llowing published in last vol
ume. viz View of Con,tant n 'Tlc, Schuylkill Wa
ter Works, The Indian Maid, The Pig i'm, Happy
as King, The d, alh of uuh. With each of
these we published Fashion plate, containing e.
hcr three or four figures, beautifully and tasein!ly
! colored. Uuivers,lly p onounced superior 10 any

pronounce, without hesitation, that those for this

wavs be worth more than the price Of sub cr pton.
