A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.
THE GALLERY <OF INDUSTRIOUS
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
iusrious in the service Of the country. Every por
ton OF the work will receive the careful atien
ton, and nothing will be spared to render j, worthy
mad enduring monument TO the great men of he Re
public.
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, IN collecting Portraits Ior National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed 10 be superior to any that have
ever been taken. In the Accomplishment Of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men Mr. Bradv's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His dagucueotypes are in the
highest sense the works OF art, glowing with the soul
of the living counienance.
The drawings and engravings OF D'Avgnon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste TO be fully
equal and in some respects superior those of the
best artists Of London and Paris and every inn
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision The typography will be
cued carefully and in as superb siylc as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work viii be on
the finest imperial folio paper, 6 by % ,chcs, asdc
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 for them an honorable
fame througbo the nation Each Of the great de-
parments 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 60 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 non will respond to our ap
peal Tor encouragement and aid in commendablc an
undertaking. that is publication may make IN
he progress of American Art, and by grouping the
lustriors of the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
As no work OF this kind has appeared in America
and the prices they sustain 10 Europe would place il
beyond the reach OF most Of citizens the publish
ors have resolved TO merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore
established the following
