We have received from the hands OF Messrs Brady,
DAvgnon. and lester of New York the 9th number of the
Galery Of nlus,ious Americans" dedicated to General
Scott The portrait Of the gallant warrior is decidedly the
finest representation Of him haveever exhibits
him rather in his stern than social character not
gay, we have been wont 10 see him in his convival
hours-such he probably is on the field OF battle not
with the smile and relaxation OF the social companion
The biographical sketch which accompanies the portrait
is worthy Of him. But. the writer says. "to attempt
to portray the life and character Of such man in two
pages seems mockery Of history"
