THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE
NATIONAL GALLERY.
THE PROPRIETORS OF " THE WEEKLY CHRO-
NICLE" TO THE PEOPLE OF THE BRITISH

EMPIRE.

The Proprietors of the " WEEKLY CHRONICLE," en-
couraged by the still increasing prosperity of their Journal, hays
determined upon the publication of a series of Portraits,
ENGRAVED ON STEEL,
To be called collectively" THE NATIONAL GALLERY;"
thh: title being adopted from the conviction that any other
name, less comprehensive, would be found unworthy of the
extent and high purpose of the undertaking, as well as of the
surpassing beauty with which it will be carried out. The ap-

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-

would naturally have commenced but for the Gal-
lerycirlltcenuntmhad:s(tifaititiihoceneof its having been so recently presented to the Readers of the
" WEEKLY CHRONICLE."
The Publication of the GALLERY will proceed in the col-
lo': ing order :
DUKE OF WELLINGTON. (LORD LYNDHURST.
LORD GREY. Ma. O'CONNELL.
SIR 11. PEEL. DUCHESS OF NORTHUMBER-
MR. WILBERFORCE. LAND.
LORD DURHAM. LORD LEICESTER.

LORD BROUGHAM.
MODE OF PUBLICATION.

To each Portrait will be appended an impartial Biographical
Memoir, printed on imperial hot-pressed quaff to, 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. T o those subscribers desirous of possessing THE NA-
TIONAL GALLERY, the price of THE WEEKLY
CHRONICLE will be that of other papers—namely, Six-
pence. To these, 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
One Shilling; and at the same time a Ticket, which will en-
title the holder to a Paper and a " Memoir," on the following
week, for " nothing." The first number of " The National
Gallery" will be published on the Ist of July next, and the cor-
resporoling 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 present time, at less than Five Guineas.
Every precaution has been taken by the Proprietors to be pro-
vided with a supp!y—great as the demand roust 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, together with a Memoir, be received by all Agents by
the 20th of April.
ARTISTS ENGAGED FOR THE WORK.
The Proprietors feel that they have only to give the names
of Ilayter, 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 be found the names of Finden, H.
Robinson, Mote, Cook, Wagstaff, W. Hall, Brown, Hall,
&c. &c. &c. hence, the Publishers have, they conceive, given
suffiicent warranty that no considerations of cost have weighed
with them in their attempts to make the NATIONAL GAL-
LERY worthy of its ambitious title. Ail that modern art can
effect will be lavished on the undertaking. The same pencils,
the. same gravers, employed to minister to the tastes of the
lirg,hest and richest in the land, will labour for the gratification
of the humblest Englishman—the painter for the Court will be
the painter for the Cotta2e.
MORAL INFLUENCE OF THE WORK.

their contemplated
of the NATIONAL GALLERY feel that
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 the mind, and elevate the taste of the people. In
the NATIONAL GALLERY the Englishman will be con-
tinually reminded of the p.g eatness, and of the consequent. value
of Hpeowweirl—irleteard rnortable mhivgehst—of
hisher ri
ucrnopuhnstroy,;e,
over rival
her
nations.gtan t c
Englishmen, the irresistible force of British valour—the calm,
comprehensive, and determined resistance to wrong—the advo-
cacy 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 ti.e lofty-minded soldier—the wise
and generous Statesman—the Patriot—and the Philanth-opist,
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.
To non-subscribers the price of one Portrait will be 11, Is. 6d.
