LITHOGRAPHY.
Lithography, as one of the modern arts, dates only from about the end of the last century. The inventor, Aloys Senefelder, the son of an actor, was born at Munich in 1771, and died there on the 26th February, 1834. Intended for the profession of the Law, he, on the death of his father, was obliged to retire from the University.
