EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN
hinder this title will be published during the
~ year 1885, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches OF American citizens W no have become
illustious in the service OF the country Every por-
ton OF the work will receive the most careful atten-
tion and nothing will be spared to render il 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 tor National Gal
lcry, and those which 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.. Bradvs
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommen daiion His daguerrcotypes are in the
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
of the living countenapce.
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 inn
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 16 by % lschcs 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 are admitted whose talents
and public services have for them an honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each Of the great de
partments OF life VIII have its representatives. Art
and Literature are universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is Intended to be worthy and enduring mon
ument 10 the great men OF the Republic whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory OF
the nation. We hope that every lover Of AT, aad
friend Of our glorious Onion, viii respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in ocommendablc an
undertaking, that its publication may make an era in
he progress OF American Art, and by grouping the
illnsrioos men 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 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
