1 THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE
1 NATIONAL GALLERY.
Till PROPRIETORS OF " THE WEEKLY CHRO-
MCLE" TO THE PEOPLE OF THE BRITISH
EMPIRE.
The Proprietors if the " WEEKLY CHRONICLE," en-
couraged by the still increasing prosperity of their Journal, have
1 tiirertnizted upon the publication of a series of Portraits,
ENGRAVED ON STEEL, i
To be called collectively "THE NATIONAL GALLERY;"
ithi., title being adopted from the conviction that any ether
1211a6, less comprehensive, would be found unworthy of the
extent and high purpose of the undertaking. as well as if the
vorpgssing beauty with which it will be carried cut. The ap-
pearance of " THE 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 form an eztraerdi-
-I:4ry epoch in the history of the English Press.
OBJECTS OF THE WORK.
The purpose ef the Proprietors ef " THE WEEKLY
CHRONICLE" is to assemble in " THE NATIONAL GAL-
LE RV," the Portraits of those Publio Men who have most dis-
tinguished themselves during the 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 given the most distinguished Women of the
Celli% of Queen Victoria ; with whose own Portrait the Gal-
-IPry Would naturally have commenced, but for the circumstance
of its having been so t ecently presented to the Readers of the
"WEEKLY CHRONICLE."
'Le Publication of the GALLERY will proceed in the fel-
le,‘ ing or '

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—namely, Six-
pence. To those, however, should there be such, who may
Frvi,r the Paper without the Engraving or Memoir, the price
be as at present, Fourpenee-halenny.
THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE NATIONAL GALLERY.
Tile First Number of THE NATIONAL GALLERY
1.. published on the Ist of July next, and the correspond
;fig Memoir en 'the Bth ; so that in each alternate week
t.!ierc will be given a Portrait or Memoir. The work will form
a magnificent annual volume in imperial quarto—a volume not
to benurchased, at the present time, at less than Five Guineas.
Every.precaution has been taken by the Proprietors to be pro-
vi qt with a supply—great as Ihe demand must necessarily be—
b, the erection of steam machinery on tne premises. at toe out-
by t.f several thousand pounds. Snecimens of tne Portraits
will be found at the principal Newsvenders throughout the
United Kingdom. That of his Grace the Duke of Wellington
together with a Memoir, may now be received by all Agents
t.id lienkellers.

ARTISTS ENGAGED FOR THE WORK.
The Proprietors feel that they hare only to ere the names
of Ilayter, Chalon, Latilla, and Stewart, as the Painters em-
ployed for the NATIONAL GALLERY, to at once assure
themelres of the confiden:e of the public, not only as to the
tvoi-th and beauty of the forthcoming work, but as to the feel-
ing v.hi:h animates the Projectors in this national enter--
In-a Among the Engravers will bo found the names of HS
Robinson, illote, Cook, Wagstaff, W. Hull, Brown, Hall,
e. &e. &c. Hence, the Publishers have, they conceive, given
NNarranty that ne considerations of cost have weighed
with them in their attempts to make the NATIONAL GAL-
LERY worthy of its ambitious title. All that modern art can
cfre,.t will be lavished on the undertaking. The same pencils,
same gravers, employed to minister to the tastes of the
'.-:.nest and richest in fhe land, will labour for the gratification
cf ilia humblest Englishman—the painter for the Court will be
the Fititer for the Cottage.

MORAL INFLUENCE OF THE WORK.
The Projectors of the NATIONAL GALLERY feel that
their contemplated enterprise involves deeper and nobler consi-
d,:ations than may superficially present themselves. It is
scan.ely possible that a work of such an extent, executed with
ai the high refinements of art, should not assert a great moral
intitterce—an influence working for good; and tending at once
to improve the mind, and elevate the taste of the people. In
tis NATIONAL GALLERY the Englishman will be con-
tinually reminded of the greatness, 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 .f
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
in rn the basis of our national character. All the ennobling
'cntiruents that constitute the lofty-minded soldier—the wise
and generous Statesman—the Patriot—and the Philanthropist,
vll lie felt and acknowledged by our readers ; and thus, in the
projected publication, every subscriber to " The National Gal-
eitY" of " The Weekly Chronicle," will have the gratification
I.)2,e'aenu_safog at the most trifling cost the most perfect record of
" in,ettry's glory.

NO REFORM of the LITURGY.—We do
love, we confess, the Athanasian Creed. It is such
a perfectly delightful composition. 0, that the Apostles might
have arisen, if only once, from their graves, to see the divine
truths they preached, clothed in a phraseology so incompa-
rably better than their awn, and uniformly preferred to it as a
vehicle of faith and worship by almost the whole Christian
world !

to " 323," as another firm having adopted the name of Henekey
and Co. serious mistakes have occurred.
