We are in receipt of copy of tie
ILLUSTRATED Los ANGELES HER.
AID, o special publication Of six
teen pages, nearly as large as Har-
psr's Weekly, Issued by Jos. d.
Lynch. The issue before us. in
point of topographic art, is fully
equal to the best that can be pro.
duced on the continent, and we
have Q vague idea that its mechan.
ical excellence has been attained
through the large printing house
OF Fl. s. Croker & Co OF San
Francisco-no esta biishmeut in
Los Angeles being capable Of its
production; this, however, in no
wise detracts from the credit due
our friend Lynch as its publisher.
On the first page Is very fine
wood engraving OF the residence,
vineyard and wine buildings Of
Mr.. L. j. Rose, called the "Sunny
Slope" while the inside pages are
adorned by fine bird's.eye view
In Autograph, o. photo relieve pro-
cess, Of Los Angeles city as it APP
pears to-day and as it was in 1857,
affording striking and pleasing
cJuttnst. The reading matter has
evidently been prepared with much
care, and fully sets forth the adj
vautages OF Los Angeles as home,
and with which We frankly confess
we are not in the least jealous OF
envious, for all We have ever to say
In behalf of our own city of San
Diego will readily apply to nearly
all of Southern California. Wear
only envious Of the enterprise dis
played by brother Lynch in getting
up such a beautiful and valuable
publication. San Diego Union
We have received copy of the
ILLUSTRATED Los ANGELES HER
AID, just issued. The editor aud
publisher, Mr.. J. ID Lynch, has re-
turned from San francisco, where
he has been experimenting the
publication. 1t il a very credita-
ole work, the illustrations being
much more artistic than those geB-
orally found in special publications.
The cuts are finely engraved, and
have u soft, tropical tone, which re.
1scts very striking!y the repose
and balm peculiar to our section.
The frontispiece gives exquisite
views Of Sunny Slope vineyards
and its warehouses and dlstillery.
The centre-piece runs across two
pages and gives a fine panoramic
view of Los Angeles as 1t is, from
a photograph taken by Payne &
stanton, Of the Elite Gallery, this
city. It is accompanied by q
sketch of Los Angeles in 1857,
which affords at u glance most
striking contrast between the city
of the present time and that of the
adobe period. Views of Baker
Block, Heilman's residence and q
map OF Los Angeles county also
contribute to the pictorial excel
lence of this publication. The read
ing matter conveys comprehen-
sive idea of the resources and the
advantages of the county, and is
marked by careful editing and
commendable absence from the ex-
aggeration usually INDUCED In by
special publications of this charac.
ter. On the whole, the II.LUsTRAT.
ED HERALD is very creditable
work, and should be widely circu-
lated. We learn that the edition
for distribution will not be here till
Friday or Saturday.-Erpress.
