EDITED BY an ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
- year 1850, twenty-four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches OF American citizens who have become
ilustrious in the service Of the country. Every por-
ton of the work will receive the most careful atten-
on and nothing will be spared to render 1t worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men OF the Re-
public. .'.'.-~ ID .." "'|'.h sFIttfa@ "
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, in collecting Portraits TOR National Gal
lery, and those which are being engraved for this
work believed 10 be superior to any that have
been taken In the accomplishment OF this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men. Mr.. Bradys
reputation has been too long established TO need any
Recommendation. His daguerreotypes are in the
highest the works OF art, glowing with the soul
of the living countenancp. t.# 9l 1921 st |H
The drawings and engravings of DAvignon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste to be fully
equal and in some respects superior TO those oil 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
cuted as carefully and in superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, Is by % inches, made
expressly for this purpose. ... A.. g~ T..
This work has nothing sectional in its scope it
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names of those men only are admitted whose talents
and public services have Won for them an honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each of the great de-
partmepts of Lille will have its representatives. Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended TO be worthy and enduring mon
untnt TO the great men Of the Republic, whose
achievements ana fame constitute the chief glory Of
the nation We hope that every lover OF Art, and
friend OF glorious Union, will respond 10 our ap
peal for encouragement and aid in commendable an
undertaking, that its publication may make in
he progress of American Art, and by grouping the
l,istrous of the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly. | e ...I
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 our citizens, the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging yery low price. They have, therefore,
established the following .' 81.

imperfect records of the newspapers, and the eabo-
