A GREAT NATIONAL WORK
THE GALLERY OF HLUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS.
Daguerreotypes by Brady--Engraved by
D'Avignon.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
Under this title will be published during the
u year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches OF American citizens who have become
illustrious in 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, "a collecting Portraits National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
been taken. In the accomplishments of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men. MIR. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommen da,ion His daguerreotypes are in the
highest the works OF 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 to 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 be exc
cuted carefully and in superb style the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper 16 by % ,:ches, nade
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope; ; il
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names of those only admitted whose talents
aud public services have won for them honorable
lame throug hou' the sation Each oil the great de-
partments of life Will have its representatives. Art
and Literature are 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 glorious Union, will respond to our APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commcndable
undertaking, that It's publication may make era in
he progress of American Art, and by grouping the
llusrious 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 the following
