Two or three years after his return he drew (a copy from acopperplate) and engraved a frontispiece for the Treasury of Knowledge, published in New Yorkby James Conner: on a small duodecimo page a full-length portrait of Washington, in a square2\ X if inches, surrounded by circular subjects rather less than a nickel cent, the arms of thethirteen States of the Union enwreathed with oak and laurel, a figure of Liberty at top, — theminuteness and delicacy of which may challenge comparison with anything I know of in engrav-ing on wood. This was executed in 1834. Not so minute, but of equal excellence, is anotherfrontispiece, of the same size, with figures representing Europe, Asia, Africa, and America, andviews of Paris, Rome, Calcutta, Cairo, London, and Buenos Ayres.
