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

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LiTERARY MEN
FINDER this title viii be published, during the
u year 1885, twensy-iour Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches OF American citizens Who have become
iustrous in the service OF the country. Every por-
on Of the work will receive the mos, 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, collecting Portraits tor National Gal
lery, ind 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 has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men. Mr.. Bradys
reputation has been too long established 20 need any
recommendation. His daguercotypes are in the
highest sense 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 as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be On
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % ,sches rade
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names OF those men only admitted, whose talents
and public services have won for them honorable
lame throughout the nation. Each Of the great de-
partments of life Will have its representatives. Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery intended TO be worthy and enduring
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 glorious Union, will respond 10 APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commendabc n
undertaking. that its publication may make era in
he progress OF American Art, and by grouping the
illustrious men OF the Union together consolidate it
still more hrnly,
As no work OF this kind has appeared in Amepca
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,
established the following
