GREAT HISTORICAL PICTURE OF THE
COUNCIL OF THE LEAGUE.

THE accomplishment of Free Trade will be one of
the mo.-,t remarkable events, not only in the history of the
"British Empire, but of the civilized world. No movement so
important, so effective, and so successful has ever been before
witnessed by mankind. Those to whose zeal, integrity, pru-
dence, and ability this great triumph is due, will be recognised
as the benefactors of mankind to remote generations.
It is a duty, then, which we owe to the world and to posterity,
to preserve some permanent memorial of the Council of the
League—that deliberate and executive body, which has achiev-
ed more by moral force, than has been accomplished by asso-
ciations that included physical strength and political power.
For this purpose arrangements have beatrinade with J. R.
i
HERBERT. Esq., R.A., to paint an Historical Picture of the
Meeting of the Council of the Le e, including accurate por-
traits, not only of the pl:inciparieaders, but of those less pro-
minent members, whose TO atigable labours during the whole
course of the inovement,have entitled them to public gratitude.
It is proposed that thi‘shall be engraved by a first-rate artist,
on a large scale (33 by 22 inches) and that the copies shall he
sold at such a price as to place within the reach of persons of
moderate fortune, a monument of the mighty movement by
which• monopoly was overthrown, and the cause of justice es-
tablished, withoutany remembrance of outrage or violence to
lessen the enjoyment of so glorious a victory. The principles
of universal peace have been established by their own practical
development in peaceful agitation.
In order to accomplish this great Work of Art, on a scale and
in a style worthy of the subject it is designed to commemorate,
those who are interested in its production are requested to
_ _

communicate to Mr. AUNEW, Priritseller and Publisher, Man-
chester, the Class of Engraving for which they wish to subscribe.
There will be Three Classes of Engravings from this great
Historical Picture, at the following Prices:— .
First Class Proofs Ten Guineas.
Second Class Do. Seven Guineas.
_ . Third Class Prints Three Guineas.

Each Class of Impressions will be numbered, and delivered
In the order subscribed for, under the direction of the Coin-
inittee.
