ton Of the work will receive the most careful aten-

mad enduring monument to the great OF the Re
public.
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, collecting Portraits Tor a National Cal
ery, end those which being engraved for this
work are 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 Mr. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation His daguereotypes in the
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
of the living countenance.
The drawings and cngravings 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 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, l6 by % .chcs, 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 only admitted whose talents
and public services have won for them honorable
fame throug gbout 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
ument 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 our glorious Union, will respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commcndablc an
undertaking. that its publication may make an era in
he progress OF American Art, and by grouping the
ustrious men OF the Union together, consolidate il
still more firmly.
As no work of this kind has appeared in Amenca,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach of most Of citizens the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price They have, therefore.
