A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.
THE GALLERY OF ILLUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS
Daguerreotypes by Brady---Engraved by
DAvignon

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
| TNDER this title will be published, during the
~ year 1850, twenty-four Portraits and Biograph
cal Sketches of American citizens who have becom,
illusrious in the service of the country Every por-
ton oil the work will receive the most careful aten-
ton 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 wears engaged, at great
expense, in collecting Portraits for National Gal
lery, and those which are being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
over been taken In the accomplishment of this grea,
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 tie
highest sense 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 some respects superior to those of the
best artists OF London and Paris and every i'm
presson IN this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate SUPERVISION The Typography will be exc
cuted as carefully and in as superb STYLE az the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper 16 by % inches, 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 men only admitted whose talents
and public services have won for them honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each of the great de.
partncnts of life will have its representatives. Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring MOI
ument to the great men of the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory OF
the nation. We hope that every lover of Art, nd
friend of our glorious Union will respond to ap-
peal for encouragement and aid in commend bic
undertaking, that its publication my make in
the progress of American Art, and by grouping the
illisrious men OF the Union together, consolidate il
| still more firmly.
As no work of this kind has appeared in America
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach of most OF citizens the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore
established theifollowing
