8.  The portrait by Healy, kit-cat size, taken as Mr. Tazewell was in 1830, and designed to be inserted in the painting of the Senate of the United States during the debate on the resolutions of Mr. Foote, of Connecticut.  The family of Mr. Tazewell regard this portrait as the finest ever taken of him.  I have never seen it; nor has the family ever seen the painting into which it was to be introduced.  Mr. Tazewell was fifty-seven or eight at the time.
