Our forefathers were not ashamed of their beards; but now even the soldier is only allowed to keep his mustache, while our quill-driving masses shave themselves as close as they can; and in proportion to a man's piety he wears less hair, from the young curate who shaves off his whiskers to the Popish priest who shaves his crown."

Signed by Geo. P. Marsh, Daniel D. Barnard, J. McPherson Berrien, J. R. Ingersoll, E. Joy Morris, T. L Clingman, Daniel Webster, R. C. Winthrop, Thomas Butler King, Hamilton Fish, J. P. Kennedy, J. Collamer, Wm. S. Archer, Rufus Choate, Alexander H. Stephens." An engraved portrait of some distinguished person will be found in every number of the Review. These will usually be portraits of living living American Statesmen, and whenever that is possible, will be accompanied with an authentic Memoir of the person represented. The first objects of the Review are of course political; ; it is designed to set forth and defend the principles, the measures, and the men of the UNITED WHIG PARTY of the Union It has been a matter of just reproach to that Party, that though it embraces its due proportion of the intelligence and learning of the country, it has had no Quarterly or Monthly Organ devoted to the expression and defense of its opinions and measures. The conductors of the American Review have done what in them lies to remove this reproach, by securing contributions from sources of ability and truth. The literary department of the Review will agree in spirit with the political. TERMS.-85 a year, in advance. D. W. HOLLY, Publisher, 120 Nassau st. PUBLISHED AT 120 NASSAU STREET.

EIGHT FIRST PREMIUMS-SILVER MEDALSAwarded at the Great Fairs in Boston, New-York, and Philadelphia, CAN BE SEEN AT M. A. & S. ROOT'S GALLERIES, 363 Broadway, cor. Franklin st., N. Y., & 140 Chestnut st., Phila. ADMISSION FREE TO ALL. THE MESSRS. Roor having yielded to the many urgent solicitations of their numerous friends to establish a branch of their CELEBRATED DAGUERREOTYPE GALLERY in this city, have been engaged for some time past in fitting up an ELEGANT SUITE OF ROOMS AT 363 BROADWAY, COR. FRANKLIN ST., where they shall be most happy to see all their numerous friends, as also strangers and citizens generally. The acknowledged high character this celebrated establishment has acquired for its pictures, and the progressive improvements made in the art, we trust, will be fully sustained, as each department at this branch is conducted by some of the same experienced and skilful artists that have been connected with it from the commencement. The pictures taken at this establishment are pronounced by artists and scientific men unrivalled for depth of tone and softness of light and shade, while they display all the artistic arrangement of the highest effort of the Painter. Citizens and strangers visiting the Gallery can have their miniatures or portraits taken in this unique style, and neatly set in Morocco Cases, Gold Lockets or Breastpins, Rings, &c., in a few minutes. Heretofore an almost insurmountable obstacle has presented itself to the production of family likenesses, in regard to children. The Messrs. Root are happy to state that through an entirely new discovery of theirs, this difficulty has been overcome, as the time of sitting will not exceed two or three seconds in fair, or ten to fifteen seconds in cloudy weather. N.B.-LADIES are recommended to dress in figured or dark materials, avoiding whites or light blues. A shawl or scarf gives a pleasing effect to the picture. FOR GENTLEMEN.-A black or figured vest; also figured scarf or cravat, so that the bosom be not too much exposed. FOR CHILDREN.-Plaid, striped or figured dresses, lace work. Ringlets add much to the beauty of the picture. The best hour for Children is from 11 A. M. to 2 P. M. All others from 8 A. M. to 6 P. M. Jan., '51, 12t. |
