The opinion of the President of the United States rcfpe&ing this work, is as follows : " I believe the American Museum has met with extensive, 1 may fay, with untverfal ap probation from competent judges ; for I am of opinion, that the work is not only eminently calculated to disseminate political, agricultural, philosophical, and oth-r valuable mfoimat.on ; bat that it has been vnijorm'y condußed viik taflc 9 attention, and propriety.
