MIR. BRYANT's SPEECH.
Mr. President IL struck me that my excellent frlend,
th President in speaking of the great success when
has attended The Adine in Typography has hardly gone
the length he might have gone. Although, perhaps, the
of The Adine has been ryaled elsewhere,
think ! have never seen good engraving impressed
with 40 much beauty and accuracy upon paper IL was
I'm Germany that the of printing had its origin aud
vet the Germans have never come 70 any
snScaI peTfection in that art, hut instead are
very considerably behind some OF the oihcr
nations OF Europe England excels in her impressions
TO this Of The Adine The ink put upon the
hlocF i'm such Just proportions with the senderest anu
most delicate lines impressed with the greatest distinct
ness So will close with saying, Honor and praise
and congratuaton 70 those who are the pr0retOrs anu
snperintendents Of The Aidine" tApplausel
