A GREAT NATIONAL WORK
THE GALLERY OF TLLUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS.
Dagueueotypes by Brady Engraved by
D'Avignon.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title viii be published, during the
~ year 1850, twentytour Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches of American citizens who have become
,lnstrons in the service of the country. Every por-
ton OF the work will receive the careful atten-
on ard nothing will be spared TO render it Wort hy
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-
lery, and those which are being engraved for this
work are believed 10 be superior to any that have
been taken In the accomplishment of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encourag cement from distinguished Mr.. Brady g
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommended ion. His daguerreotvpes in tie
highest the works ot ort glowing with tie soul
ot the living councnance.
The drawings and cngravings 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 inn
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision The Typography will be exc
cuted carefully and in as superb style the EN-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, lG by 23 lnchcs made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope; it
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names of those only admitted, whose talents
and public services have FOR them honorable
fame Throughout the nation. Each of the great de-
parrnen,s of life will have its representatives. Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is Intended to be worthy and enduring
u,ncnt to the great men of the Republic, whose
achievements and iane constitute the chief glory of
the nation. We hope that every lover of Art, and
friend Of our glorious Union viii respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commendablc
undertaking. that is publication may make In
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping tse
llustrious of the Union together, consolidate il
still more firmly,
As no work OF this kind has appeared in America,
and he prices they sustain in Europe would place i,
beyond the reach of most OF citizens, the publish
ers have resolved 10 merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,

The publishers of the SOUTHERN QUARTERLY
REVIEW beg leave to entreat the attention of the
public to that Work, to return thanks for the IN
variable indulgence which has smed upon its
progress hitherto, and to express the hope that
this countenance will not be withdrawn, now that
the publication, passing from the hands OF the
former publisher into their own, makes, as II
were a fresh start in the pursuit of well known
PROCESS They cannot allow themselves to doubt,

addition OF many new ones, not less valuable and

bers now beg leave to give, that the work will be
henceforward issued in q style very superior to

type. and with a regard to neatness and finish
which will eav e it second TO none in the country
they will continue to receive that patronage which
