EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
Hinder this title will be published, during the
~ year 1850, twenty-four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches Of American citizens who have become
iustrious in the service of the country Every por
ton OF the work will receive the most careful atten-
ton, and nothing will be spared to render worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men of the Re
public. FfEg AtS .s W
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, in collecting Portraits for National Gal
lcry, 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 daguerrcotypes are in the
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 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 inn
mediate supervision. The typography will be exc
cued as carefully and in superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be
the finest imperial folio paper, 6 by % inches, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope; il
win 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-
partments OF life will have its representatives. Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring
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, and
friend of our glorious Union, will respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in conmendable
undertaking, that its publication may make in
the progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
llnstrious 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 it
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 the following

nWiNG to the late revolutions and counter-rcvo-
" lutions among the nations OF Europe, which have
followed each other in quick succession and which
the end is not yet" the leading periodicals Great
Britain have become invested with degree of inter
est hitherto unknown They occupy middle
ground between the hasty, dsjoned and necessarily
imperfect records of the newspapers and the eabo-
rate and ponderous reatses to be furnished by the his
torian at future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem it proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they offered to subscribers. The following is
their list, viz: 38 saEts.Ssts- sa
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,

three great parties in England-Tory, Wing md RAJ

the &C Westminster Review y Liberal. The C North

great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland and is not
