S. COLMAN,
(8 ASTOR HOUSE, NEW YORK,)
IN PRESS, AND WILL SHORTLY PUBLISH,
"THE POETS OF AMERICA, ILLUSTRATED BY ONE OF HER PAINTERS;"
DESIGNED AS A GIFT BOOK FOR 1840.
A specimen of this beautiful work is before us. The editor, Mr. John Keese, has selected from the productions of the American poets such pieces as were suited to his plan, and the pieces are illustrated by very delicate engravings, by Chapman. There are thirty-six pages of illustrations etched on steel. Mr. Colman certainly deserves great praise for his efforts to improve the American style of printing.
