THE VIEWS.
Tho picturo of tho "chicf glory" of tho Stato Housc, tho Portico, is alono worth the
prieo of tho work. It can, indeed, "bo matchcd for picturesqucne9S nowhere short of
tho land, and pcrhaps tho vcry'tcmplc, tli.it gave tho pattern." Second only to this is tho
picturo of tho statue of Ethan Allen, includiiig apart of tho Portico. Bcsidea thcso aro
views of tho Governor's Room, tho Senato chambcr and tho hall of tho IIouso of Rep
rcscntativcs, which aro rcmarkablo for clcarncss "of detail. A finc full pago viow of
