the pleasure Of examining view of Dart
more Depot" carved and planed by gentle

familiar with lis interior structure, from the
fact of his having been among the American
prisoners confined therein, for five months, at
period rendered notable by the history of
the times Mr.. Josiah Cobb, of Liberty street,
SO we'll known for his genius in mechanism, as
exhibited in the naval figures, &c, in and
about his store and dwelling, is the author
The carving and arrangement of this formula
BILE prison and military depot, is excellent, and
has been pronounced, by gentlemen well quail
fed to Judge, to be faithful representation of
the extensive prison in all its minutiB. Mr.,
G. is professionally printer, but long since
changed his occupation, and gives his moments
of leisure from business to this branch of the
mechanical arts, and the view alluded to has
: been accomplished as mere pastime. 1t is
much credit upon the author-whose industry
/ Is model worthy the imitation of many who
waste hours of existence in idleness.
