A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.
THE GALLERY OF HLUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS
Dagueneotypes by Brady---Engravcd by
D'Avignon

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN
HNDER this title will be published, during the
u year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches Of American citizens who have become
lustrous 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 OF the Re-
public
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, collecting Portraits tor National Gal
ery, and those which being engraved for this
work 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
recomme ndaiion His daguerreotypes in the
highest the works OF art glowing with the soul
OF the living countcnance.
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 sof 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
cutcd carefully and as superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will b" on
the finest imperial folio paper, 6 by % riches, ade
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope ; ii
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
and public services have won for them honorable
fame throug bout tho nation Each Of the great de-
parmepts Of life will have its representatives. Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
umcnt TO the great OF the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory OF
the nation. We hope that every lover Of Art, and
friend OF glorious Union, will respond to ap-
peal for encouragement and aid in commendablc an
undertaking, that its publication may make IN
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
ilstrious of the Union together, consolidate il
still more firmly.
As no work Of this kind has appeared in Amerca,
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 very low price. They have, therefore,
established the following

BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS
Premiuma TO New Subscribers.

OWING to the late revolutions and counter-revo-
" lutions among the nations OF Europe, which have
followed each other in quick succession, and Of which
the end is not yet" the leading periodicals of Great
Britain have become invested with degree OF inter
est hitherto unknown They occupy middle
ground between the hasiy, dsjonted, and necessarily
imperfect records of the Eewspaperx, and the clabo-
rate and ponderous eatses to be furnished by the his
torian at a future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem it proper cali renewed attention
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they offered to subscribers. The following is
their list, viz
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW,
BLACKW GODS EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals containedt he views, mode
ratcly, though clearly and firmly expressed, OF the
three great parties in England-Tory, Whg and RAJ
dical-s' Backwood " and the &C London Quarterly y
are Tory the GO Edinburgh Review" Wing and
the " Westminster Review " Liberal. The North
British Review " owes its establishment to the last
great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland, and is not
ultra in its views any one Of the grand depart
ments of human knowledge it was originally edited
by DR.. Chalmers, and now, since his death, is con-
ducted by his son-in-aw Dr. Hanna, associated with
Sir David Brewster Its literary character is OF the
very highest order. The " Westminster though
reprinted under that title only, is published in Eng
land under the title OF the Foreign Quarterly and
Westminster y it being in fact union OF the two
Reviews formerly published and reprinted under sepa-
rate titles 1t has therefore the advantage by this
combination OF uniting in one work the best features
of both as heretofore issued.

A FACT ron FAHMERs.-Dr. r. t.
Baldwin has recently made public the result
Of several years investigations and expert
ments upon manures, and the various Eays
of fertiIizing the soil. He states that the
best and speediest way to fertilize any soil,
is to cover it over with straw, bushes, or
any raw material, 50 as completely to shade
it. The surface Of the earth thus being
made cool, dark, damp and close, soon I'M
dergoes a chemical process, like putrefae-
ton, and becomes highly fertalized. This
plan Of fertilizing, he says, may be applied
with success to any soil whatever, no matter
how poor, and the result viii DO aston
