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, hava
determined upon the publication of a series of Portraits,
ENGRAVED ON STEEL,
To be called collectively " THE NATIONAL GALLERY;"
this 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 w►th which it will be earned out. 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 a■ extraordi-
nary epoch in the history of the English Press.

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 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
Court of Queen 'Victoria ; with whose own Portrait the Gal-
lery would naturally have commenced, but for the circumstance
of its having been so s ecently presented to the Readers of the
" WEEKLY CHRONICLE."
