The late King of France, taking an affectionate leave of his family, just 

 before he suffered under the guillotine: The Queen appears in a rage of dis- 

 traction: The King's sister deeply affected. The young Princess is fainting: 

 And the Dauphin is embracing his unhappy father: The Queen's Maid of 

 honor also appears in great distress : A guard of soldiers are waiting to conduct 

 him to the place of execution. This is an affecting scene, which appears 

 natural as life, and is the most interesting group of WAX FIGURES that 

 ever was exhibited in the United States.

 gantly situated in the centre of the Museum Hall, surrounded by four beautiful 

 Wax Figures, representing LIBERTY, with the staff and cap; — JUSTICE, 

 with the sword and balance; — PEACE, with the olive branch extended; — 

 And PLENTY, with a cornucopia, or horn of Plenty, loaded with fruit. The 

 President is drest in an elegant suit of black, and his figure is 6 feet and one 

 inch in height, with exact proportion, and the likeness is universally allowed to 

 be the most perfect of any ever offered to the public view. With a great vari- 

 ety of
