skin she offers, in which we can almost trace the perfect outline

seal are on the sides opposite to those they heretofore occupied..
The words " SIGILLVM. PROVINCIE. NOSTRm. NovI. EBORACI. IN.
AMERICA," are appropriately on the side representing American
gifts; whilst the Royal titles-" GEORGIUS. II. D. G. MAG. BRI.
FR. ET. HIB.. REX. F.. BRUN. ET LUN. Dux. S. R. I. ARC. TH. ET.
PR. EL." surround the Royal arms on the reverse side. These
arms are the same as those last described, but their design and
finish are immensely Superior. This engraving is, also, from
an impression in the State Library.
