Text Appearing After Image:
NEW ENGLAND GAZETTEER. We take pleasure in presentinf^ to the public a well executed en-graving of the Vermont State House, at Montpelier; designed by A. B.Young, Esq., a native of New England, and executed under his imrae-diate superintendence. The engraving represents a southeast front view of the building, whichstands on an elevated site, about 325 feet from State street, on which itfronts, and is alike beautiful in design and execution. The yard andgrounds pertaining to it are large and spacious, and, in the manner theyare laid out, give great importance to the building. Through the wholedesign, a chaste architectural character is preserved, which, combinedwith the convenient arrangement of the interior and the stability of itsconstruction, renders this edifice equal in every respect to any in NewEngland, and probably to any in the United States. The building is inthe form of a cross, showing in front a centre, 72 feet wide, and twowings, each 39 feet, making the whole length 150
