encouragement from distinguished men Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes are in the
highest the works OF art, glowing with the soul
OF the living countenance.
The dra wings and engravings of D'Avignon have

equal and in respects superior to those OF the
best artists of London and Paris and every i'm
