plan by the adoption Of parts Of different plans

Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great

recommendation. His daguerreotypes in TIE
highest sense the works OF art, glowing with the soul
of the living countcnance.
The ORA wings and engravings of DAyignon have
been pronounced by Europeans Of taste to be fully
equal and in some respects superior to those OF the
best artists Of London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision The typography will be exc

As no work OF this kind has appeared in America
