The medallion of the author of "The Scarlet Letter," executed
in marble by Mr. Edward Kuntze, and exhibited by him this year in the rooms of the Royal Academy, has suggested to some admirers of the genius of the great American novelist the means of gratifying themselves by conveying to him a token of their respect and admira- tion. It is therefore proposed to purchase the medallion from the artist, and forward it to Mr. Hawthorn, accompanied by an address expressive of the feelings with which he is regarded by Enghsh readers. The subscriptions will be either a guinea or half a gemea, at the option of the subscriber. Contributors of a guinea will ,be entitled to a plaster cast of the medallion. The marble medallion can be seen at the studio of the artist, 23, Newman-street, Oxford- street, W. Subscriptions and communications can be addressed to Mr. W. C. Bennett, 2, The Circus, Greenwich; or Messrs. Smith and Elder, Comhill.
