NOVA CONSTELLATIO

Mr. Urban: Nov. 30,

In the description of the American half-penny, p 868, no notice is taken of the central object, which in the plate has the resemblance of an eye. Might not the artist design to insinuate, that this new constellation of thirteen stars was formed by Providence?
