FINDER this title will be published, during the

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 atten

mad enduring monument to the great men OF the Re-
public.
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, i'm collecting Portraits for National Gal
lery, and those which 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
ion. His daguerreotypes in the
highest the works OF art glowing with the soul
Of the living countenance.
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

cravings themselves. The entire work will be on

partments Of life will have its representatives,. Art

Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring

achievements and fame constitute the chief glory Of
the nation. We hope that every lover OF Art, and

As no work Of this kind has appeared in America
