Under this title will be published, during the

cal Sketches OF American citizens who have become
illustrious in the service Of the country Every por-
ton OF the work will receive the careful aten-

Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, IA collecting Portraits tor National Gal
lery, end those which being engraved for this
work are believed 10 be superior 10 any that have
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 dsgueneotypes in the
highest the works OF art, glowing with tie soul
of the living counienance.
The drawings and engravings OF D'Avgnon 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
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision. The Typography will he exc

cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, 6 by % inches, raade
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il

names of those men only admitted, whose talents
and public services have won for them 40 honorable
fame throughout the nation, Each OF the great de
partnents Of life VIII have its representatives. Ar,
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 glorious Union, will respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commendablc an

ilns,rious 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 if
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,
