MARsHALL's ENGRAVING OF LINCoLN.-We
last week called attention to this engraving
published by Ticknor & Fields, but we think
we cannot do our readers greater kindness
than by again commencing the picture 10
their notice. 1t is line engraving purely,
which makes it greatly superior to any or
binary engraving. This style of engraving
has the peculiar merit of representing nature
better than any other. By the arrangement
and direction Of lines, their natural texture
is given to the features, while by their delicate
gradations every expression lie gwen. MI.
Marshall is the only artist in this country
who has attempted work of this nature, and
his two engravings, one Of Washington, and
this OF Lincoln, have given him an honorable
position among the few great engravers of
the world /; and both works have received the
highest enconiums from abroad well as 1t
home.
In addition TO the concentrations Of thus
work of art which We printed last week, We
give this from Hon. Justin s. Merrill:
The engraved portrait of our late President
Lincoln, by Mr.. Nm. E. MARSHALL, recently
published, appears to me much better por-
trait and tar better picture than any her

IN his thoughtful mood, filled with he strong
est as well rs tenderest e:notIons' and In this
respect be was NEST loved and will longest be
remembered. The engraving Is a noble one,
whetr er viewed as work of arr, or as a
tribute TO the memory OF one the world has
already deoi led to be not unworthy TO stand
as the Saviour, by the side of the Father, OF
his country.
