Daguereotypes by Brady---E Engraved by
D'Avienon.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
u year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi
cal Sketches Of American citizens who have become
llustrious in the service OF the country Every
ton of the work will receive the most careful atten
ton, and nothing will be spared to render II worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men Of the Re
public. III
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at grea,
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 accomplishments OF this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men. Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes are in the
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
OF the living countenance,
The drawings and engrayings Of p'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 i'm
mediate supervision The Typography win be exc-
cuted carefully and in as superb style the en-
cravings themselves The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % inches, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional In its scope il
viii therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names OF those only admitted whose talent,
and public services have won for them honorable
lame throughout the nation. Zach oil the great de-
partments Of life Will have its Representatives. Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery il 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 ap-
peal for encouragement and aid in commendahle
undertaking, that its publication may make in
he progress OF American Art, and by grouping the
illsrons 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
crs have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
established tho following
