FINDER this title will be published, during the
u year 1850, twenty four Portraits and Biographi
cal Sketches OF American citizens who have become
luStrious in the service OF the country. Every por
ton of the work will receive the most careful aten-
ton, and nothing will be spared to render il worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men of the Re-
public.
Mr.. 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 20 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
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes are i'll the
highest sense the works OF art, glowing with tie soul
OF the living countcnancc.
The drawings and engravings Of D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans Of taste to be fully
equal and in some 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 superb style the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, IL by % nchcs, ,ade

This work has nothing sectional in ITS scope il

names Of those men only admitted whose talents
and public services have won for them an honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each OF the great de-
partmcnts of life will have IFS representatives. Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon

achievements and fame constitute the chief glory of
the nation. We hope that every lover of Art, and
friend of glorious Union, will respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in so commendabe
undertaking, that its publication may make in
he progress oil American Art, and by grouping TIE
lnstrous men of the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
AS no work of this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach Of most of citizens, the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
