"The miniature of Edgar Allan Poe from which the above is made, and which has not before been published, was painted from life by J. A. McDougall, in New York City, about 1846, three years before the poet’s death. The artist was a friend of Poe and other literary men of that time. The portrait was given as a wedding present by McDougall to John A. Crockett, from whose widow, now living at Newark, N.J., we have obtained permission to reproduce it. "
