DAvignon.

EDITED By AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
- year 1850, twenty -iour Portraits and Biograph
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 attcn
tion and nothing will be- spared to render it worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men o! he Re
public.
MIR. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, collecting Portraits for National Gal
ery, 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 in the
highest sense the works OF art" glowing with tie soul
OF the living conntenancc.
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 inn
mediate supervision The typography will be exc
cuted carefully and in superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % inches, r:ade
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in Its scope il
will therefore be comprehensive IN its spirit The
O: those men only admitted whose talents
and public services have yian for them an honorable
fame throughout the nati5ne Each of the great de-
partmcnts Of life will have its representatives. Art
and Literature univ ersal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring
umcnt to The great men Of the Republic. whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory Of
tho nation. We hope that every lover Of Art, and
friend of our glorious Union will respond to APP
peal for encourag" ncnt and aid in commendabe
undertaking, that its publication may make in
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
illustrous 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
beyond the reach Of most of citizens, the publish
ers have resolved to merit large CIRCULATION, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,

owing to the late revolutions and counter-revo
~ lutons among the nations of Europe, which have
followed each other in quick succession, and OF which
the end is moi yet the leading periodicals OF Great
est hitherto unknown. They occupy middle
ground between the lasty, disjointed and necessarily
imperfect records OF tho newspapers, and the "labo
and ponderous t:eases to BIZ furnished BY the his
torian at future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem it proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and tho very low price at which
they are offered to subscribers. The following is
their Inst, viz
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,

THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW,
