DAGUERRE PICTURE MADE BY LIGHT.
NING.-In a volume edited by Ms Child, entitled
Letters from New York, she quotes The following
passage, professedly from a book written a hundred
years ago by a Virginia cavalier. II seems that
nature had given a pretty clear hint Of picture ma

Of the most amazIng happened in the country in

Of witnesses, who had the curiosity to GO and see
this wonderful phenomenon"
