A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.
THE GALLERY OF ILLUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS.
Daguerreotypes by Brady---Engraved by
D'Avignon.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
- year 1850, twcnty-four Portraits and Geographic
cal Sketches of American citizens who have become
illustrous in the service of the country. Every por-
ton oi the work will receive the most careful atten-
ion and nothing will be spared to render il worthy
mad enduring mt nument to the great men OF he Re
public
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, III collecting Portraits for National Gal
lery, and those which are being engraved for this
work are believed to he superior to any that have
been taken. In the accomplishment OF this great
obiec, he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men. Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recomme ndaion. His dagucrreotypes in the
highest sense the works OF art, glowing with tic soul
of the living connenancc.
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
cuted as carefully and in superb style as the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % nches r:ade
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope; il
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names of those only 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 universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
uncnt to the great men Of the Republic. whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory Of
the notion We hope that every lover Of Art, and
friend of glorious Mon, will respond to APP
peal for encourage mcnt and aid in commendable
undertaking, that its publication may make in
he progress of American Art, and by grouping tie
nstrious 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 ii
beyond the reach of most of our citizens, the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
established the following
