Memoir, printed on imperial hot-pressed quarto, uniformly with
the Engraving. A Portrait will be published every other Sa-

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.

ARTISTS ENGAGED FOR THE WORK.
The Proprietors feel that they have only to giio the names
of Hayter, Chalon, Latilla, and Stewart, as the Painters em-
ployed for the NATIONAL GALLERY, to at once assure
themselves of the confidence of the public, not only as to the
worth and beauty of the for.theoming work, but as to the feel-
in.' which animates the Projectors in this national enter-
Ameng the Engravers will be found the names of H
Robinson, Mote, Cook, Wagstaff, W. Holl, Brown, Hall,
&c. &c. &e. 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 ambitions tile. All that modern art can
effect will Is 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 tho gratification
of the hernblest 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
s u
such au extent, executed with
all the high refinamerts of art, ( not assert a great moral
influence—an influence working for go- d ; and tending at once
to improve tbe 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
He 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
form 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.
