Excerpt from Life and Works of Alexander Anderson, M.D: The First American Wood Engraver
In preparing the present work, the author has carefully studied the existing material, and has made numerous extracts from the Diary of Dr. Anderson for the years 17 95 - 17 98. These extracts are particularly interesting as throwing a side light on the details of an uneventful but worthy and use ful career.
The illustrations, nearly forty in number, have been selected as showing his progress in the art from his earliest wood-cuts for The Looking Glass for the Mind to his own portrait, engraved in his best style in his eighty-first year.
