EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN,
ITNDER this title will be published, during the
y year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi
cal Sketches of American citizens who have become
illusrious in the service of the country Every por
ton of the work will receive the most careful atten
ton, and nothing will be spared to render it worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men Of the Re
public.
MIR. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, in collecting Portraits for National Gal
lcry, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
ever been taken. In the accomplishment Of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men. MIR. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes are in the
highest the works OF art, glowing with tie soul
of the living coIntenance.
The drawings and engravings OF D9Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste to be fully
equal and in respects superior to those Of the
best artists of London and Paris; and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision The Typography will be exe-
cuted carefully and in superb style the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by 2s inches, made
expressly for this purpose
This work has nothing sectional in IFS scope; il
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names of those men only admitted whose talents
and public services have for them honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each OF the great de-
partmcnts of life Will have its representatives Art
md Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
ument to the great men Of the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory OF
the nation We hope that every lover OF Art, and
friend of our glorious Union, will respond to our APP
peal for and aid in so acomnendAhle an
undertaking. that its publication may mako an ora in
he progress of American Art, and by grouping tke
nstrous men Of the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
As no work Of this kind has appeared in America,
and he prices they sistaip in Europe would place it

ground between the hasiy, dsloned, and ccssarily
