EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
yTNDER this title will be published, during the
- year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi-
! 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-
tion and nothing will be spared to render it 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
lerv, 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 are in the
highest the works OF art glowing with tie soul
of the living counenancc.
The drawings and ensravings Of DAvignon 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 superb style as the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper by 20 inches, made
expressly for this purpose
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il

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 are universal in their spirit, and the
Cutlery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
ument to the great Of the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory of
the nation. We hope that every lover Of Art, and
friend OF our glorious Union will respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commend 'blc
undertaking, that its publication may make an in
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping TIE
istrlous 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
