On this day (August 5) the following items appeared in their respective publications: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - In the 1851 "Boston Daily Evening Transcript": DAGUERREOTYPISTS AMONG THE MOUNTAINS. The Lowell Journal hears there is a full corps of daguerreotypists at the White Mountains, at this time, taking impressions of the magnificent scenery of that region. A view of the mountains, seen from a favorable point in North Conway, recently sold for six hundred dollars. The "Hillotype" would work admirably among the granite hills. * * * * * * * * * In the 1852 "New-York Daily Tribune" (Vol.XII, No.3,525): The light of intelligence seems shin- ing in the eyes of ROOT'S Daguerrean Likenesses. This is one of the most striking characteristics of his remarkable pictures. They are not mere transcripts of the physique, but of the expression of the countenance. They appear to look at you.
