with the soul; and this is especially true Of
the human countenance, which, is 50 far
as it is the expression OF mind, we : e
through the medium Of our own individual
mind Thus, portrait IS satisfactory IN
so far as the painter has sympathy with his
subject, and delightful to US in proportion
as the resemblance reflected by his sympa-
thies is in accordance with our own. Now
in the Daguerreotype there is no such medi-
um, and the face comes before us without
passing. through the human mind aud brain
to our apprehension. This may be the rcas-
OH why Daguerreotype, however besuti-
ful and accurate, is seldom satisfactory and
agreeable, and that while we acknoH dye
its truth as to fact, it always leaves some
thing FOR the sympathies to desire.
