Daguerreotype Miniatures.—Mr. Ellsworth shows some very good specimens of his skill, at his
Room. Miniatures taken by this process cannot be flattered in the least—every delineation is
true to nature. The discovery of this wonderful and curious art has answered to the letter, so far
as the outer man is concerned, the wish expressed by Burns:
“O that the gift dame nature ‘d gie us,
“To see ourselves as others see us.”
