THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE
NATION-AL GALLERY.

TIM PROPRIETORS OE 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 tho.undertaking, as well as of the
surpassing beauty with which it will be carried 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 an 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 " THE NATIONAL GAL-

LERY," the Portraits of those Public Men who have mo;tdis-

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 lecently presented to the Readers of the
" WEEKLY CHRONICLE."
The Publication of the GALLERY will proceed in the fol-
io s ing order :
DUKE OF WELLINGTON. ILORD LYNDIIURST.

LORD GREY.
SIR R. PEEL.
MR. WILBERFORCE.

11a. O'CONNELL.
DUCHESS OF NORTHUMBER
LAND.

LORD DURHAM.

ILORD LEICESTER.

THE SPEAKER.
HER MAJESTY.
LORD MELBOURNE.
DUCHESS OF KENT.
LORD JOHN RUSSELL.
DUCHESS or SUTHERLAND.
MARQUIS OF NORMAN BY.
LORD BROUGHAM.

LORD SPENCER.
THE QUEEN DOW.ACRR.
SIR JAMES GRAHAM.
MARQUIS OF LANSDOWNE.
(LORD
tLoRD STANLEY.
ILORD
xi
IuORFETH.

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
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-
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 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 must necessarily be—
by the erection of steam macninery on tne premises. at the out-
lay of several thousand pounds. Specimens o 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 Hayter, Chalon, Latilla, and Stewart, as the Painters em-
ployed for the NATIONAL GALLERY, to at once assure
themselves of the confiden2e 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, 11.
Robinson, Mote, Cook, Wagstaff, W. Holl, 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. All 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 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 retinemeas 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. He will read in the lives of
Englishmen, the irresistible force of British valour—the calm,
comprehensive, and determined resistance to wreng—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 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 count ry's glory.
All pet sons 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 li. Is. 6d.

A CARD.

SEDDON'S AROMATIC LOZENGES
of STEEL are found by experience to possess the most
extraordinary powers in the cure of disorders incidental to youth of
both si•xes. For improving debilitated, relaxed, or broken constitu-
tions, there decidedly is not so excellent a remedy in the universe.
Wken the weak, the languid, the emaciated of either sex, make a
trial of this medicine, they find their spirits exhilarated, their strength
recruited, their faculties renovated, and all the alarming symptoms of
approaching consumption subside. When the most important func-
tions of life arc suspended, and those who are invalids by inheritance
or imprudence are reduced to the most deplorable state of nervous
debility, it is not in despair that relief is to be found. It has been as-
certained, beyond a doubt, that these circumstances are oc.
casioned by a general or partial relaxation or weakness in
either sex ; and it is equally certain that SEDDON'S genuine
AROMATIC LOZENGES of STEEL are the best, if not the
only remedy ever discovered for this species of debility. When
taken into the stomach, they immediately diffuse themselves like a
vapour through every por-, producing effects at once delightful,
salutary, and permanent. Wilco the spark of life begins to grow dim,
the circulation languid, and the faculties paralysed, these Lozenges
are found to give tone to the nerves, exhilirate the animal spirits,
invigorate the body, and re-animate the whole man. When aversion
to exercise, loss or depravity of appetite, and pallid countenance, in-
dicate approaching consumption, the delicate female will be preserved
and restored to health and society by the benign influence of this
nai dicine.
