Lecture to commence at 8. Grand exhibitions on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons, at 3 o'clock, for schools and families, when children will be admitted for the low price of six cents. Grand historic mirror of the American war! The most exciting topic of the times! The only work of the kind in existence, sketched by eye-witnesses, and painted by the most eminent artists, under the supervision of the well-known Pearson Brothers, of New York. ... Mr. Robert Pearson, the principal artist, has made arrangements to add to this popular work, from week to week, all the principal events that may transpire in the prosecution of the war, having distinguished artists engaged to forward to him sketches and reports prepared on the spot. ... The unseemly daubs which are generally produced for public inspection, under the name of panoramas, have, in a great measure, shaken the confidence of the people; ... It is necessary, therefore, to inform all classes that this panorama has met with the most unbounded success, having been exhibited within the past few months, in Philadelphia, to not less than 75,000 spectators
