lion OF the work will receive the most careful atten-

mad enduring monument to the great men OF he Re-
public.
MIR Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, "a collecting Port ants National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work believed to be superior to any that have
ever been taken In the accomplishments 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 the
highest sense the works OF art, glowing with the soul
of the living countenance.
The dra wings 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
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his inn
mediate supervision The typography will be exc
cu,ed carefully and in superb style the en-
cravings themselves The entire work will be on

expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in IFS scope IL

names of those only admitted, whose talents
and public services have won for them honorable
fame throug hou' 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 mon

The nation. We hope that every lover of Art, and
friend of our glorious Mon, will respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commendabc
undertaking, that lis publication may make in
he progress of American Art, and by grouping the
illnsrious 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
beyond the reach OF most OF citizens the publish
ers have resolved TO merit large circulation, by
charging very low price They have, therefore,
