MISSIONARY PORTRAIT GALLERY
THE PATRIOT NEWSPAPER.

THE Publishers of the " PATRIOT" Newspaper
have been anxiously considering in what way they might
most suitably combine an expressive acknowleagment of the
steady support which, during fourteen years, has been afforded

to that J'Arnal, witli the promotion of some great—object
public utility. They have now the satisfaction of announcing
the completion of an arrangement, by means of which, though
at a vast expense, this desirable end will be achieved.
It is proposed to issue a series of Sisiptrritrand COSTLY

GIFTS i 0 fhe•regular subscribers to Patriot
consist of large and magnificent P RAITS of some of the
most celebrated BRITISH 111 OVARIES, and HISTORI-
CAL PICTURES of corresp ing excellence, connected with
remarkable events in the SSIONARY ENTERPRISE. In
order to insure the high order of merit, GEORGE BAXTER,
Esq., the ingenious Inventor and sole Patentee of the beautiful
art of Oil Colour Printing, whose artistical skill has been so
successfully employed in the Illustration of Christian Missions,
has been engaged, at a great cost, to execute this novel under-
taking.

These will

Fro'in the details of the plan, it will he clearly seen, that,
while, by its unparalleled: liberality, it will strongly mark the
sense entertained by the Publishers of the Patriot, of the un-
wavering support of their friends, it will also, by its peculiar
character, tend materially to promote the maintenance and
diffusion of a MISSIONARY SPIRIT, and thus accomplish the
twofold purpose in contemplation.

The intended series will' begin with PORTRAITS of DIS-
TINGUISHED MISSIONARIES. Once in six months, until
further notice, each actual Subscriber will be presented with a
highly-finished Portrait, of the estimated value of from fifteen
shillings to a guinea. New Subscribers will be entitled to the
same privilege, on payment in advance of a half-year's subscrip-
tion (225. 6d.) DIRECT TO THE PATRIOT OFFICE.
The first Portrait of the Series will be issued on the IST of

JOHN WILLIAMS,

THE MARTYR OF ERROAIANGA,
whose apostolic labours, and illustrious, though cruel death,
have embalmed his memory in the Universal Church. The re-
semblance is striking and characteristic, and the interest of the
picture is much enhanced -by a delicate LANDSCAPE of the
MISSION HOUSE and GROUNDS at RAROTONGA, filling up the
background._

The second Portrait will be issued on the IST of JANUARY,
1847, and will be a likeness of the late
WILLIAM KNIBB,
THE LIBERATOR OF THE WEST,
. . .

a man whose indefatigable labours and protracted sufferings in
the sacred cause of human freedom, have placed his name in
the first rank of Christian philanthrophists. It is :confidently
expected that the intended picture will be acknowledged to be
the most faithful as well as the most beautiful likeness of this
eminent Missionary. The background will be occupied with a
view of the scene of his self-denying labours, and of his long-
continued sufferings in the ANTI-SLAVERY CAUSE.
The third will be issued on the IST OF JULY, and will be an
almost speaking representation of
ROBERT MOFFAT,
THE APOSTLE OF BECHUANA,

in whom Christians of all denominations haVe felt at a loss
which most to admire, the childlike simplicity of his character,
or the heroic fortitude with which, beyond any other man, he
has dauntlessly pursued his benevolent labours amid the accu-
mulated dangers of the most barbarous and savage climes. The
Trint is enriched with a fine African Landscape, from drawings
taken on the spot, comprising a lively illustration of the habits
and customs of the native tribes.
These splendid Works of Art, to be followed at intervals by
others of equal interest and excellence, will form a MISSIONA-
RY PORTRAIT GALLERY, worthy of a place in the choicest col-
lections, and especially adapted to adorn the habitations of the
FRIENDS of MISSIONS, and to advocate from the walls of their
PARLOURS, VESTRIES, and SCHOOL-ROOMS, the glorious cause
of Christian enlightenment and civilization. To those who are
familiar with Mr. BAXTER'S peculiar art, it is unnecessary to
say more in its commendation ; but those who are not will not
object to be informed, that his productions, though but Prints
from Engravings, have, when suitably framed, so exactly the
appearance of the most highly:finished Drawings, that they
have been honoured with a place in the Duke of Devonshire's
celebrated cabinet, at Chatsworth, and in other private collec-
tions.

As already announced; the first Portrait will be ready on the
Ist of July, 1846. For safety in carriage, the Portraits will be
neatly mounted and varnished, for which a small charge will be

made on delivery

Ministers of ail denominations may, by communication with
the Publishers of the Patriot direct, be supplied at a reduced

Publishers; and Specimens will be forwarded to such parties
without delay.
