motive of honest and praiseworthy patriotism,
and laudabe State pride, will prompt them to
such course. Nor can we doubt that the
Legislature will promptly respond to the recon-
menda,ion, by making the necessary annual ap.
preparation. The expense is absolutely insig-
niiicent, when compared with the results to be
omplished-the generous patronage of con-
summate artistic genius in a native son of our
State, and the pcrpctuaton of noble monument

renowned patriots. we relolcc IN believing

To winch letter the undersigned have received the

To suhlon the following extract from private letter
addressed by the sculptor to one OF them
have stated in the accompanying letter, that six
years would he the time within which could execute
the two statucs-l'hs may seem long, but have al
ready other works which | am bound to execute
done much sooner. but not both With regard to the
personal appearance ii the originals OF the proposed
statues, 1t seems should have to form my own ideas
you say, that there are no known lkcncsses
OF either OF them in existence ! remember having
read their histories, but have books here to re-
fresh my memory. presume that the style of dress
OF their times would afford the most acceptable, and
perhaps the most appropriate custume and Tor my
part, | should prefer to shcw them, II possible, as
they really appeared but how far this could be done
remains to be- shown. Icannot imagine these men in
Greek or Roman costumes.
a statue or picture always produces the best eff
feet, when it illustrates some act sentiment and
should hope find IN the lives oi these patriots some
events, which their statues might be made To CONNIE
mOrate and suggestions on tins point might prove
very useful TO me.
Since the undersigned addressed their communica-
ton TO Mr.. Powers, they have learned that there
ex-,s a, Montrenl historical picture representing
striking scene IN the life of Allen, and that his portrait
in the picture painted from the lite-DOubtcs,
permission could be obtained to copy the portrait fol
the OF the sculptor, and recent information lead
the undersigned TO believe that minute aud faithful
descriptions OF the persons and costumes of both Acl
and Chiiirndcn are still attaiuabc. \ tring sun

books, and all other information necessary tor Mr.
