A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.
THE GALLERY OF ILLUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS.
Daguerreotypes by Brady---Engraved by
D'Avignon.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
" " ar 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biograph
cal Sketches OF American citizens who have become
llnstrios in the service OF the country Every por
ton OF the work will receive the most careful attic n
ion, and nothing will be spared to render it worthy
mad enduring monument to the great Of the Re-
public.
Mr. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, in collecting Portraits for q 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
objec he has experienced the utmost Courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men. Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established TO need any
recomme nda'i ion. His daguerreotypes are in tie
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
OF the living countenance. o.. ..........
The drawings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans of taste 10 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 as carefully and in as superb style the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, by % inchcs n.ade
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
will therefore be comprehensive 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 mon
uInent to the great men ut the Republic. Whose
and fame constitute the chief glory of
the nation. We hope that every lover of Art, and
friend Of GLORIOUS mon, will respond to our APP
peal for encorrag ment and aid in commend 'ble
that its publication my make In
he progress OF American Art, and by grouping tke
ilsrious Of the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly .- ...s.
As no work Of this kind has appeared in America.
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place II
beyond the reach Of most of citizens, the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
the following
