This superb picture, Engraved under the super

ait is u faithful represent ton of the eel cbrated
original and TO Chief Justice fancy of the Su-
preme Court of the United States, who says, GAS
work of art, lis excellence and beauty must
strike every who it; and it is he less hap
ply i'll its likeness the Father of his country. 1t
was my good fortune TO have seen him in the days
of my boyhoOd, and his whole appearance is yet
strongly impressed on my memory. The por-
trait you nave issued appears to me to be an eT-
act likeness, representing perfectly the expression
as well as the form and features of the face."-

ton of the great original President Fillmore saws,
So the work appears to me to have been admirably
executed, and emin.ntly worthy of the patronage
| of the public.'' Says Marchant the eminent pOr-
trait painter, and the pupil of Stuart, 'your print
to my mind is more remarkable than any other
have seen, for presenting the whole individuality
of the original portrait, together with the noble
and dignified repose of air and manner, which all
who ever saw him considered marked character
