D'Avignon.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published during the
u year 1850, twenty-f Portraits and Biograph-
cal Sketches of American citizens who have become
lustrous 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 it worthy
mad enduring monument TO the great men of the Re
public
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, N collecting Portraits Tor National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed to 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. Brady's
reputation has been too long established TO need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes in the
highest sense 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 90 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 he exc
cuted carefully and in superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, 10 by % inches, made
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 throughout the nation. Each Of the great de-
partmens 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 to 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 our glorious Union will respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commercial bic an
undertaking, that its publication may make an era IN
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
ilustrious of the Union together, consolidate il
still more firmly
As no work of this kind has appeared in America
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach Of most Of our citizens the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
