Excerpt from A History of the Massachusetts General Hospital Of the Medical College, the scene of a late fearful tragedy; and, in the background beyond the river, the hill is crowned by the Asylum, a peaceful retreat, standing forth from amid the foliage and shrubbery by which it is sheltered and secluded. I have been permitted by the Trustees to use a separate engrav ing Of the Asylum, which has for several years belonged to the Corporation. The likeness Of Dr. James jackson was also executed for this publication from a daguerreotype, of which it is a very accurate copy, though the happiest expression has not been secured. The engraving Of Dr. Warren is from an existing plate, which he kindly placed at my disposal. After the volume was in the press, I learned, for the first time, that my friend and co - trustee, george M. Dexter, Esq., had already prepared, at great labor and expense, large and elegant engrav ings of the interior and exterior Of the Hospital, which, at a future day, he intended to publish, with some description of the establishment, historical as well as architectural. Of all these engravings, he, with great liberality, offered me the free use. This courtesy, however, I felt that I ought not to accept. His intended publication he will, as is hoped, yet complete. Its design is truly magnificent, and will not be superseded by the present compilation. If, indeed, that shall be regarded as letter press worthy Of accompanying his architectural illustrations, I may well be satisfied.
