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 ttreeratbelmbliontion,t acmes of Portraits,
ENGRAVED OAF sTEEL,
To be called collectively " THE NATIONAL GALLERY;"
thiA title being adopted from the conviction that any other
name, less comprehensive, would bo found unworthy of the
extant and high purpose of the 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 "TINE 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 awn Portrait the Gal-
lery would naturally have commenced, but for the circumstance
of its havin.- been so recently presented to the Readers of the
" WEEKLY CHRONICLE."

MODE OF PUBLICATION.
To each Portrait will be appended an impartial Biographica
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.
The First Number of THE NATIONAL GALLERY
will be published on the Ist of July next, and the correspond
ing 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 presenttime, at less than Five Guineas.
Every precaution has been taken by the Proprietors to be pro-
vid.?d with a supply—great as the demand must necessarily be—
by the erection of steam mactnnery on me premises. az too out-
lay of several thousand pounus. snecimens of tne Portraits
will be found at the principal Newsvemiers throughout the
United Kingdom. That of his Grace the Duke of Wellington
together with a Memoir, may nOW be received by all Agents
and Book ellers.
ARTISTS ENGAGED FOR THE WORK.
The Proprietors feel that they Stews only to give the names
of Hayter, Chalon, Latilla, and rt, as the Painters em-
ployed for the NATIONAL GALLERY, te at once assure
themselves of the confidence of the public, not only as to the
worth and beauty of the for:lcoming work, but as to the feel-
ing which animates the Projectors in this national enter-
ccgiven
prise. Among the Engravers will be found the names of 11,„
Robinson, Mote, Cook, Wagstaff, W. Holl, Brown,eive, Hall,
&c. tee. Hence, the Publishers have, they on
suffiicent warranty that ne considerations of cast 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 bo 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 tha humblest Englishman—the painter far 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 invelves deeper and nobler consi-
derations than may superficially present themselves. It is
lo r
good;ld not assertand a
tending great
at moralonce
scarcely possible that a work of such an extent, executed with
all the high refinements of art,
influence—an influence working f
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, eatneys,annwdero_f thheereomnoserayeinntgvhaLue
of his country ; of her gigantic
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
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 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.
