Mr. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, a collecting Port. ants tor National Gal

ever been taken In the accomplishment 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
recommendation. His dagueneotypes 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 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
cuted carefully and in as superb style the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, Is by % lsches made
expressly Tor this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope ; il

peal for encouragement aud aid in commendable
undertaking, that It's publication may make IN
he progress of American Art, and by grouping the

still more firmly.
As no work of this kind has appeared in America
beyond the reach of mos, OF our citizens, the publish
