only original portrait, in the Athe-

Washington ever published. 1t has been
characterised as the greatest work Of art
ever produced in this couhtry. As to its
fidelity, we refer to the letters Of the
adopted son OF Washington, GEORGE
WASHINGTON PARK CUSTIS, who
says, "It is a faithful representation Of
the celebrated original" and 10 CHIEF
JUSTICE TANEY Of the Supreme
Court of the United States, who says,
GAS a work of art its excellence and
beauty mnst strike every one who sees
it; and it is no less happy in IT'D likeness
to the Father of his couAtry. II was my
good fortune to have seen him in the days
of my b5yhood, and his whole appearance
is yet strongly impressed on my memory.
The portrait you have issued appears TO
me to be m exact likeness, representing
perfectly the expression as well as the
form and features of the face" And
says SENATOR CASS, il is a Hfe.Eke
representation of the great original.

bly executed and eminently woihy Of the
patronage of the public" Says MAR
CHANT the eminent portrait painter,
and the pupil Of S'uur'S''your prin, TO my
mind is more remarkable than any other

dividual;ty of the original portrait, to-
geiher with the noble and dignifed repose
Of air and manner, which all who eveI
saw him considered u marked Characters.
