D'Avignon.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
~ year 1885, twenty-iour Portraits and Bographi-
cal Sketches OF American citizens who have become
iusirous 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 il worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men OF the Re
public
MIR. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, collecting Portraits Tor National Gal
lery, md those which being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
bee 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 to need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes are in the
highest sense the works ct art glowing with the soul
OF the living countensnce.
The drawings and engravings of DAvignon have
been pronounced by Europeans of taste 10 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 inn
mediate supervision. The typography will be exc
cuted carefully and in superb style the
cravings themselves. The entire work win be on
the finest imperial folio paper, by 20 inches, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il

peal for encourage and aid in commcndablc
undertaking, that It's publication may make in
he progress OF American Art, and by grouping tie
illnstrious OF the Uaon together consolidate it
still more firmly.
As no work Of this kind has appeared in America.
and the prices they snstan in Europe would place il
beyond the reach OF mos, of our citizens the publish

They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-

merely to catch the popular breeze. From edu-
cation, from position, from association, from in

defence OF Southern rights is defence Of them
selves and all they hold dear;--that it has been
warm unremittng, and as far as their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny. TO doubt that it will continue to be
so is to presume that the principles and ideas
which have been instilled into them from their

know it to be impossible.

ground between the has,y, dsjointed and necessarily
imperfect records OF the newspapers, and the elabo-
rate and ponderous teatses to be furnished by the his

therefore, deem il proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they arc offered to subscribers. Tbs following is
