79- Christ raising the Daughter of Jairus. This miracle, as
recorded in the 9th chapter of St. Matthew, is represented as
passing in a chamber, where the young woman is seen lying,
apparently dead, on a bed, and the Saviour standing by the
side of it, in the act of taking her by the hand: one of his dis-
ciples stands by him, and another is farther in the room, con-
soling the weeping mother of the damsel, while the father, with
more confidence, stands at the foot of the bed, watching with
anxious eye the resuscitation of his child. A covered table,
on which are various medicines and other objects, is placed in
front. Engraved by Schmidt, and etched by Barnet.

addressing her. On the opposite side the view opens over a
