Under the management of Col. M'Kenney, Superin- Engraving, Historical and Practical, with up

tendent of Indian Affairs, the number rapidly increased till a very interesting gallery was formed. They were chiefly painted by Mr. King, an artist of high repute, who, by frequent opportunities of studying the subject of his pencil, has been remarkably successful in transferring to his canvass the strong lineaments of the Indian countenance. Col. M'Kenney conceived the plan of making this rare and curious collection more valuable to the world by publishing a series of engraved portraits exactly copied and colored from these paintings. With each portrait is connected a biographical sketch of the individual whom it is intended to represent, drawn from original materials, and interspersed with anecdotes and narrations, many of which are spirited and strikingly graphic. The work contains also a historical account of the various Indian Tribes within the borders of the United States; a valuable contribution to Indian History.
