FINDER this title will be published, during the
~ year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches of American citizens Who have become
ustrious 10 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 National Gal
lery, and those which are being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
been taken In the accomplishment of this great
object he hes experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men MIR. Bradys
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguereotypes in tire
highest sense the works OF art glowing with tie soul
of the living counenance.
The dra wings and engravings OF DAvignon 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
cutcd carefully and in superb style the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
The finest imperial folio paper by % lsches, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope it

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
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 will respond to our APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commendable
undertaking, that It's publication may make IN
he progress of American Art, and by grouping the
illusrious 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,
