THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE
G.
THE PROPRIETORSNATIONAL OF " ALLE
THE WEEKLY CHRO-
NICLE" TO THE PEOPLE OF THE BRITISH
EMPIRE.

The PrOprietors of the "WEEKLY CHRONICLE," en-
couraged b the still increasing prosperity of their Journal, 'lava
determined upon the publication of a series of Pet-traits,
ENGRAVED ON STEEL,
To be called collectively " THE NATIONAL GA LLER Y;"
this title being adopted front the conviction that any other
name, less comprehensive, would, be found unworthy of thc
extent and high purpose of the undertaking, as well as of the
surpassing beauty with which it will be carried out. The ap-
pearance of " .17HE NATIONAL GALLERY," whether
considered as a work of art, or with. reference to its easy posses-
sion by the very humblest of the land, will forni an extraordi-
nary epoch in the history of the English Press.
OBJECTS OF THE WORK.
The purpese of the Proprietors of " THE WEEKLY
CHRONICLE" is to assemble in " THE NATIONAL GAL-
LERY," the Portraits of those Publie Men who hare most dis-
tinguished themselves during the present century ; and whose
labours, whether in the field or the senate, hare exercised the
greatest influence upon the age in which they live. In addition
to these will be given the most distinguished Women of the
Court of Queen Victoria ; with whose own Portrait the Gal-
lery would naturally have commenced, bat for the circumstance
of its herb]h been se recently presented to the Readers of the
‘. WEEKLY CHRONICLE."

MODE OF PUBLICATION.
To each Portrait will be appended an impartial Biographical
Memoir, printed on imperial hot-pressed quai 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 111J-
moirs. To those subscribers desirous of pessessine• THE NA-
TIONAL GALLERY, the price of THE * WEEKLY
CHRONICLE will be that of other papers—namely, 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 payolent 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-
responding Memoir on the Bth ; so that in each alternate week
there will 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 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 Duko 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 Hayter, Chalon, Latina, and Stewart, as the Painters em-
ployed for the NATIONAL GALLERY, to at once assure
themselves of the eootidence of the public, not only as to the
worth and beauty ef 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 Fintlen, 11.
Robinson, Mute, Cook, WagstaiT, W. Hull, Brown, Hall,
&c. &c. &c. Ilence, the Publishers have, they conceive, given
suflliecnt warranty that no considerations of cost have weighed
with thorn 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
highest 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 Cottage.
MORAL INFLUENCE OF THE WORK.
The Projectoes 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 the mind, and elevate the taste of the people. In
the NATIONAL GALLERY the Englishman will be con-
tinually reminded of the g' eatness, and of the consequent value
of his country ;of her gigantic power—her moral might--
her triumphs over rival nations. Ho will read in the lives of
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 m the basis of our national character. All the ennobling
sentiments that constitute the lofty-minded soldier—the wise
and gene..ous Statesman—the Patriot—and the Philanthropist,
will be felt and at:knee 'edged by our readers ; and thus, in the
projected publication, every subscriber to " Tho National Gal-
lery" of " The Weekly ChronFele," will hese the gratification
of possessing at the.most trifling cost the most perfect record of
his country's glory.
All persons desirous of receivitv 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
liar the supply of casual subscribers.
To the regular Subscribers of the " Weekly Chronicle" this
gallery is presented gratis.
To non-subscrib:ms the price of one Portrait will be 11. 13.6 d.
