Among recent publications of various
kinds, nothing has appeared more, unique
in its way than the collection of seventeen
plates designed for scroll saving, by
Messrs. Fred Greene and Williston Walk
or of this town. Many of the most elegant
and graceful designs in the work are orig
inal and will prove invaluable to amateurs
interested in scroll saving. Easels, wall
pockets, ard-receivers, ends for book
racks, frames, hand-mirror fan, rack for
views, knife case spoon case and brackets,
are among the many designs illustrated in
the work. We learn that the young men
are also the printers aud publishers of their
work, having made all their type and
plates and their own press.
