Mr. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, n collecting Portraits Tor a National Gal

object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established TO need any
recomme ndaiion. His daguerreotypes are in the
highest the works OF s, glowing with the soul
of the living countenance.
The dra wings and engrarings 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 inn
