The work for which the foregoing charges are made, is executed in 
a manner which is satisfactory to myself. The impressions for the 
entire edition of plates have been delivered at the Old State Hall, to- 
giether with steel plates, and the paper and work equal that required 
in the contract.

Dated Albany, May 25, 1849. 
This account like No. 1, had been submitted to the select committee 
by Mr. Pease, in his letter dated August 4, 1849. (Assembly doc- 
ument, No. 9, p. S2.) 
Nos. 12d and lid were engraved on steel, and in conformity to the 
stipulations of the contract, the steel plates became the property of 
State. 
There could be no objection under the contract, to allowing this 
account. We are, however, of opinion that the figures on the last 
named plates are too few, that apparently they might have been doub- 
led, without injuring the effect. But we greatly doubt whether we 
have any power in the matter, and Mr. Pease distinctly stated to us 
that the number of engravings on a single plate, whether few or 
many, was altogether prescribed by the person directing the engraving. 
The above plates form part of the 3d volume, by Professor Em- 
mons.
