AMERICANS

D'Avignon.
EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
~ year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biograph
cal Sketches of American citizens who have become
instrous 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, collecting Portraits tor a National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for thi.
work are believed to be superior to any that have
ever been taken. In the accomplishments 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 OF art glowing with the soul
Of the living countenance.
The rawlings and engravings 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 i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision. The typography will be exc
cucd carefully and in as superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % inches, ade
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
win therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names of those only admitted whose talents
and public services have won for them honorable
fame throughout the nation Each of the great de-
partments of life whl have its representatives. Art
and Literature universal in their spirit and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
urnent 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 glorious Union, will respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commendable an
undertaking, that lis publication may make in
he progress of American Art, and by grouping the
illusrious of the Union together consolidate it
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

charging very low price. They have, therefore,

Premiums to New Subscribers.

OWING to the late revolutions and counter-revo-
" buttons among the nations OF Europe, which have
followed each othc- in quick succession, and of which
the end is not yet," the leading periodicals of Great
Britain have become invested with degree of inter
est hitherto unknown. Ttey occupy midd,
ground bctween the hasty, disjointed and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers, and the elabo-
rate and pondcrous tyeases be furnished by the his
torian at a future day The American Publishers,
therefore, deem il proper to call renewed attention TO
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they are offered to subscribers. The following is
their list, viz
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW,
BLACKW OOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals are contancdt he views, mode
rately, though clearly and firmly expressed, OF the
three great parties in England-Tory, Wing and RAJ
dical-ss Blackwood and the &c London Quarterly -
are Tory the edinburgh Review" Wing; and
the g Westminster Review F" Liberal. The North
British Review y owes its establishment to the last
great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland and is not
ultra in its views any one Of the grand depart
ments OF human knowledge; il was originally edited
by DR.. Chalmers, and now, since his death, is con-
Quoted by his son-in-law DR. Hanna associated with
Sir David Brewster Its literary character is Of the
very highest order. The Westminster though
reprinted under that title only, is published in Eng
land under the title of the Foreign Quarterly and
Westminster y IT being in fact union OF the two
Reviews formerly published and reprinted under sepa-
rate titles 1t has therefore the advantage by this
combination of uniting in work the best features
