With respect to the numerous engraved Views, which illustrate this volume, the same talented Artists have been employed as in its predecessor, and the same effects been obtained, of uniting high finish with close resem blance to the originals. In addition to the eighty steel engravings, the text is further illustrated by nearly the same number of wood-cuts, which give a new and striking feature to the work, and render it, in point of pictorial embellishments, more rich and attractive than any Of the popular series yet issued by the same enterprising Publishers. Of these Illustrations, the greater portion was taken on the spot by M. Abresch,~ — a German artist of Well-known talent and reputation,-and drawn by Mr. Bartlett,'who has also contributed various original views, interspersed throughout the work.
