who says, 'it is faithful representation of the
celebrated original" and to Chief Justice Taney
of the Supreme Court of the United States, who
says, "As work of art its excellence and beauty

days of my boyhood, and his whole appearance is
yet strongly impressed on my memory The
portrait you have issued appears to me to be an
erart likeness representing perfectly the expression
as well as the form and features of the face."-

characteristic of the illustrious man it commem-
orates.n
