OBJECTS OF THE WORK.

The purpose of the Proprietors of "THE WEEKLY
CHRONICLE" is to assemble in " THE NATIONAL GAL-
LERY," the Portraits of those Public, Men who have most dis-
tinguished themselves during this present century; and whose
labours, whether in the field or the senate, have exercised the
greatest influence upon the age in which they live. In addition
to these will be riven the most distinguished Women of the
Court of Queen Victoria ; with whose own Portrait the Gal-
lery would naturally have commenced, but for the circumstance
•f its having been so recently presented to the Readers of the
" WEEKLY CHRONICLE."
Tho Publication of the GALLERY will proceed in the fol-
ks sing order:—
DUKE OF WELLINGTON. ;LORD LYNDPIURfiT.
LORD GREY. MR. O'CONNELL.

MODE OF PUBLICATION.
To each Portrait will be appended an impartial Biographical
Memoir, printed on imperial hot-pressed quarto, uniformly with
the Engraving. A Portrait will be published every other Sa-
turday, the Memoir being issued every alternate week—hence,
a Monthly Part will contain Two Engravings, with Two Me-
moirs. To those subscribers desirous of possessing THE NA-
TIONAL GALLERY, the price of THE WEEKLY
CHRONICLE will be that of other papers--naraely, Six-
pence. To those, however, should there be such, who may
prefer the Paper without the Engraving or Memoir, the price
will be as at present, Fourpence-halfpenny.

THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE NATIONAL GALLERY.
A Portrait will be delivered with a Paper on the payment of
Ono Shilling; and at the same time a Ticket, which will en-
title the holier to a Paper and a " Memoir," en the following
week, for " nothing." The first number •f " The National
Gallery" will be published on theist of July next, and the cor-
responding Memoir on the Bth ; so that in each alternate week
there will be given a Portrait or Memoir. The work will form
a magnificent annual volume in imperial quarto—a volume not
to be purchased, at the presenttime, at less than Five Guineas.
Every precaution has been taken by the Proprietors to be pro-
vided with a supply—great as the demand must necessarily be--
by the erection of steam machinery on the premises, at the out-
lay of several thousand pounds. Specimens of the Portraits
will be found at the principal Newsvenders throughout the
United Kingdom. That of his Grace the Duke of Wellington
may,
20th together with a Memoir, be received by all Agents by
the of April.
ARTISTS ENGAGED FOR THE WORK.
The Proprietors feel that they have only to give the names
of Hayter, Chalon, Latilla, and Stewart, as the Painters em-
ployed for the NATIONAL GALLERY, to at once assure
themselves of the confidence of the public, not only as to the
worth and beauty of the forthcoming work, but as to the feel-
ing which animates the Projectors in this national enterprise.
Among the Engravers will he found the names of Finden, H.
Robinson, Mote, Cook, Wagstaff, W. Holl, Brown, Hall,
&c. &c. Hence, the Publishers have, they conceive, given
sufflicent warranty that no considerations of cost have weighed
with thesis in their attempts to make the NATIONAL GAL-
LERY worthy of its ambitious title. All that modern art can
effect will be lavished on the undertaking. The same pencils,
the same pavers, employed to minister to the tastes of the
highest and richest in the laud, will labour for the gratification
of the humblest Englishman—the painter fur the Court will be
the painter for the Cottage.

MORAL INFLUENCE OF TIIE WORK.
The Projectors of the NATIONAL GALLERY feel that
their contemplated enterprise involves deeper and nobler consi-
derations than may superficially present themselves. It is
scarcely possible that a work of such an extent, executed with
all the high refinements of art, should not assert a great moral
influence—an influence working for good; and tending at once
to improve tie mind, and elevate the taste of the people. In
the NATIONAL GALLERY the Englishman will be con-
tinually reminded of the p eatness, and of the consequent. value
of his country ; of her gigantic power—her moral might--
her triumphs over rival nations. He will read in the lives of
Englishmen, the irresistible force of British valour—the calm,
comprehensive, and determined resistance to wrong—the r.dvo.
racy of the most sacred rights of our most common nature—which
fo in the basis of our national character. All the ennobling
sentiments that constitute the lofty-minded soldier—the wise
and generous Statesman—the Patriot—and the Philanthropist,
will be felt and acknowledged by our readers ; and thus, in the
projected publication, every subscriber to " The National Gal-
lery" of " The Weekly Chronicle," will have the gratification
of possessing at the most trifling cost the most perfect record of
his country's glory.
All persons desirous of receiving this magnificent work with
regularity and certainty, should immediately give their orders
to the various News-agents and Booksellers throughout the
Kingdom—a method rendered indispensable from the impossi-
bility of making any arrangements, in so gigantic an undertaking
for the supply of casual subscribers.
To the regular Subscribers of the " Weekly Chronicle" this
gallery is presented gratis.
