The renown which Mr D. Davidson has already acquired in the art of pen-manship, and the sundry testimonials that justly award him a need of praise, render my recommendation of his ingenious productions works, altogether superfluous, yet as he presumes imagines that the expression of my opinion by writing of that which I saw, may prove to him beneficial, I will candidly state that the three productions pieces which he purposed to raffle one day of the ensuing week, one strikingly beautiful, not alone on account of the original conception, but also because of the admirable symmetry that they exhibit.
About the principal one, that represents a superb structure, I deem it best to refer
my co-religionists, who deserve to incourage industry and perseverance, to what has been published concerning it. I should only add that I agree on all points with the Revd J. M. Isaac's idea of the same. But the picture of Moses holding the tables of the covenant, and that of Aaron the priest staying the raging pestilence by the pure incense, although inferior to the former, sufficiently evince the inventive mind of the writer, and his ability to carry out his artistic plans with great effect.
I therefore take pleasure in thus publicly asserting that Mr D. Davidson well deserves the patronage of his brethren alike well here and wherever he betakes himself. - Identifier
