every respect' the illustrations, particu
larly, being marvels ot artistic beauty,
while their number is almost .overwhelming.

theatre of their great achievements, the
lorum of their memorable debates, tho
arena ot their struggles and theirtriumphs;
aside from its historic associations, Wash
mgioL is justly called the most beautiful
city in the world—the city of magnificent
distances, a perfect arsenal of interesting
features—public building*, statuary, art
galleries, monuments, museums.paiutings,
parks and gardens.
All are yours; they belong to the citizens
of tbm glorious country and ouu all be AIM
