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

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during thu
u year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi
cal Sketches of American citizens who have become
lustrious 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 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
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed to 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. MIR. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes in tire
highest the works OF art glowing with tie soul
Of the living conntenance. e..,a / . sra E..
The drawings and engrayings 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
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision. The typography will be exc
cuted carefully and in superb style the en-
the finest imperial folio paper, lG by % inchcs 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 are universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
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, viii respond to ap
peal for and aid in commendable an
undertaking, that its publication may make in
he progress of American Art, and by grouping the
illsrious men Of the Union together consolidate
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,
