ILLUSTRATED GENEALOGY OF GEORGE WASHINGTON. — This print is a beautifully illuminated fac simile of the Genealogy of the family of the “Father of his Country,” as supplied by the British Herald's College, to Augustine Washington, the father of the General, in the year 1750, and contains, at one view, their history for upwards of three centuries. The illuminations, consists of the arms of the family and alliances emblazoned in gold and colors, and as a work of art, is highly creditable to the artist and worthy of a place in every parlor. Mr. Coleman the publisher, has, we think, acted wisely in publishing this beautiful record of our country's illustrious hero, at a price so small as to put it within the reach of every citizens [[citizen]].

Mr. Coleman, seems to have taken the science of Heraldry under his especial charge, and has numerous specimens of the arms of all countries, which together with his recently arrived novelties from England and France, by the late steamer, makes his repository one of the most attractive lounges in the city.
