Lowell deserve HONORABLE mention for their public
spirit
Mn. EpIroR II wish to call the attention Of
your readers, to the enterprsing spirit, Of your
mediate ncghbors, in the Daguerrean Rooms, d.
rectly over your Office. II is hardly realized in
this community, what untring excrtions arc made
by the Messrs Lowell, 10 bring their operations to
the highest point Of perfection. Few are aware
Of the enrncs. struggles, through which they arc
introducing some OF tho most valuable improve
mcnts. Many would be surprised to know the
amount Of professional zeal, which has been called
into exercise in those Rooms, under the influence Of
which, no expenditure Of time, or labor, or money
has been spared in the prosecution Unsuccessful ex
permonts. As Daguerrcians, these gentlemen have
reached nm unryallcl position, which enables them
to furnish the very best specimens Of that art
But they could not be satisfied with distnncing all
competition in this direction, but Il were forget
ting the returns, which might be looked for, from
their expensive attachments. they were resolved up
on pressing onward in mother direction, involving
still more sefsacrihcing devotion, TO the highest
aims Of their calling. Again they have triumphed,
IN the enlargement in their sphere Of operation,
and their public spirit has been crowned with the
success Of new undertaking. Amer expending
much capital, IN their resolute and determined
pcriments, they arc prepared to furnish something
ncp, in the way Of superior pictures, called Am
bro,ypcs, and crysiAlotypes, which are taken on
Glass, and Paper. Both Of these methods have
decided advantages over the common Dagucrreo-
/ types. The Ambrotypc, upon Glass, is more clear
anil distinct, than the Daguerreotypes. and has
the important excellence, Of being readily seen
from any position, without regard to the light and
shade, which is oftcn 80 annoying, in looking at
Daguerrcoipc. Aud hardly TOO much can be said
in favor Of the crysIaotype, on Paper. 1t is not
inferior to the best engraving, and the larger sizes
can be taken at a comparatively small expense,
while copies can he indefinitely and eheaply multi

ommenlation Of these life-like pictures. is simply
to examine them, they may be seen at tho Rooms.
To see them is to give them the preference to any
thing ever before offered to the public They can
not fail to become universal fayories They are
destined to generally, IL not entirely supercele

spirit, and eommendabc enterprise. of the Mcssrs.
Lowell, will be duly appreciated, and tina, they will
be encouraged with a liberal patronage. CITIZEN.
