Note 252 — CHAPTER FOUR.
Reading edition
We write at a time when a subscription is going among the inhabitants of New-York for the purchase of this collection; and already have private citizens subscribed to the amount of $25,000. This tells well for republican individual enterprise and taste.
The author has to acknowledge the prompt kindness of Dr. Abbott, in allowing him to take impressions as well from the Suphis-ring as from many others in the Doctor’s collection.
