20. The Kiss Sent. A handsome young lady, represented
in nearly a front view, standing at a window, looking tenderly
at some distant object, and at the same time raising one hand to
her lips; the other hand holds a letter on the sill; her head
gracefully inclines on one side, and her flaxen hair is decked
with flowers. A curtain is on either side of the window, and
a pot of ssowers stands on the sill. Engraved in a decorated

21. The Girl and Dog. A fine interesting child with
brown hair and a chubby face : she is attired in her night
clothes and cap, and appears to have just risen from her couch,
and seated herself in a chair in order to caress a pet dog,
which she holds in her arms; the little animal, ssattered by
such notice, is excited by the presence of some stranger,
towards whom the eyes of the child are also directed. The truth
and naivete of expression, the beauty and perfection of the
drawing, and the freshness and purity of the colouring, render
this one of the choicest, as well as the most estimable productions
