D'Avignon. -..' IS :

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
~ year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches of American citizens who have become
illustrous in the service of the country. Every por-
ton of the work will receive the most careful aten-
tion ard nothing will be spared to render it worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men Of the Re-
public. N'""
MIR. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, in collecting Portraits for National Gal
lery, and those which are 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. Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes are in tie
highest the works OF art glowing with tie soul
Of the living countenance. -.g. .. .... .....,
The drawings and engravings OF D'Avignon 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 exc
cuted carefully and in superba style as the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, IL by % inches, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
win therefore be comprehensive in its spirit The
names of those men only are admitted whose talents
and public services have Won for them honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each OF the great de-
partments of life will have its representatives. Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring
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 APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commendible
undertaking, that its publication may make IN
he progress OF American Art, and by grouping tke
illnstrious of the Union together consolidate it
still more firmly. .r-...f ..#. .Ls.tE .
AS no work Of this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place

charging very low price. They have, therefore

OWING to the late revolutions and counter-revo
~ lutions among the nations Of Europe, which have
followed each other in quick succession, and oil which
the end is not yet the leading periodicals OF Great
Britain have bece ne invested with degree OF inter
est hitherto UNKNOWN. They occupy middle
ground between the hasty, disointed and necessarily
imperfect records of the newspapers, and the eabo-
rate and ponderous catises to be furnished by the his
toran at a future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem it proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they are offered to subscribers The following is
their list, viz:
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
TIE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW,

rately, though clearly and firmly expressed OF the
three great parties in England-Tory, Wing and Ra-
dical-ss Blackwood " and the &C London Quarterly y
are Tory the edinburgh Review |" Wing and
the Is Westminster Review " Liberal. The North
British Review owes its establishment to the last
great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland. and is not
ultra in its views any one OF the grand depart
ments Of human knowledge; it was originally edited
by DR.. Chalmers and now, since his death, is con-
Quoted by his son-inaw DIR. Hanna, associated with
very highest order. The &C WestminsteI,' though
reprinted under that title only, is published in Eng
land under the title of the I" Foreign Quarterly and
Westminster p it being in fact union of the two
Reviews formerly published and reprinted under sepa
rate titles. 1t has therefore the advantage by this
combination Of uniting in work the best features
Of both as heretofore issued. .r
