~ year 1850, twenty-iour Portraits aud BiogTsphi-
cal Sketches of American citizens who have become
illus,rious in the service OF the country Every por
ton Of the work will receive the most careful atten

mad enduring monument to the great men of the Re
public.
Mr. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, IN collecting Portraits National Cal
lery, 1nd those which are being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior TO any that have
ever been taken In the accomplishment. of tins great
object he has expansnecd the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established TO need any
recomme ndaon His daguerreotypes in the
highest the works ot 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 some respects superior 10 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 he exc
euted as carefully and in superb style the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, 10 by % nches, made

undertaking, that lis publication may make an in
he progress of American Art, and by grouping the
Ildstrous men of the Union together, consolidate 1T

As no work Of this kind has appeared in Amenca,
