cal Sketches Of American citizens who have become
Industrious in the service OF the country Every
ton OF the work will receive the most careful atten-

mad enduring monument to the great OF Re Re-
public.
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, collecting Portraits National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
ever hccn taken In the Accomplishment of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men Mr. Brady's
reputation has been too long established need any
recommcn da'ion. His daguerreotypes are in the
highest sense the works OF art, glowing with tie soul
of the living conrtenance.
The drawings and engravings OF DAvignon 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
precision in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision. The Typography will he exc
cuted carefully and in superba style the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper 6 by % lnchcs rade
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope II
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 oil the great de-
partments OF life will have ia representatives Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon

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 APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commendablc an
undertaking, that is publication my make era in

still more firmly.
As work Of this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place II
beyond the reach Of most Of citizens the publish
