AMERICAN SUPERIORITY.
The public journals have at different periods
announced as Il remarkable proof the skill and
proficiency of American Artists, that Daguerreo-
types are now made in this city superior, in cv-
cry respect, to those made in any of the Euro
pean cities. This success of American artists
was confirmed, in very gratifying and concu-
sive manner, by Mr.. Barnum's publicly stating,
at the close of his Tom Thumb exhibition in this
city, that MIR. Root had made filty-one good pic
lures, with only single failure. In addition to
which, Pr. r. has been furnished with the fol-
lowing conclusive certificates, signed, it will be
perceived by the parents of Tom Thumb, by Mr.
Barnum, his teachers, and secretary, all ofwhom
we're with him in Europe
PHILADELPHIA, June A, lSi7.
The Daguerreotypes of Tom Thumb and his
family, including his several teachers, iootman,
driver, cquipage, &C., and his various costumes
and characters, made by Mr.. M. A. Root, (FlF-
TY ONE in al,l present degree of accuracy
and truthfulncss TO Nature, with bold charm
ofou,line, sotlness, expression, beauty and deli
cacy of finish, and uniform brilliance, that we
have never seen equalled. They are decidedly
superior to any thing of the kind witnessed by US
either in this country or in London, Paris. or
any ii the cities of Europe which we have visit
ed. We take pleasure in bearing testimony to
the courtesy and skill 50 uniformly manifested
by Mr.. Root, the emincntly successful Dagucr-
reotypist. (Sgnrd,

from those who have examined specimens of the
best productions in the art in most oithc princi-
