work believed TO be superior to any that have
been taken. In the accomplishment of this grea,
Object he has experienced the utmost cIurtcsy and
encouragement from distinguished men. Mr. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommended ion. His daguerreotypeS are in tie
highest the works OF art glowing with tie soul
OF the living collntcnancc.
The drawings and engravings Of D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans Of taste 10 be fully
