A GREAT NATIONAL WORK,
THE GALLERY OF INDUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS.
Daguerreotypes by Brady Engraved by
D'Avignon.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
Under this title will be published, during the
~ year 1850, twenty-four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches Of American citizens who have become
llusrious 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, "a collecting Portraits tor National Gal
lery, and those which are being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
ever been taken In the accomplishment. of this grea,
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 countcnance.
The drawings and engravings OF DAvignon 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 be exc
cuted as carefully and in superb style the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper l6 by % ,Eches ade
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope ii
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names Of those only admitted, W hose talents
and public services have won for them honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each of the great de-
partments 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 glorious Union, will respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in conmcndabe n
undertaking, that its publication may make in
he progress OF American Art, and by grouping the
lustrous men OF the Union together, consolidate il
still more firmly.
As no work Of this kind has appeared in America
and tho prices they sustain in Europe would place
beyond the reach OF most Of citizens the publish
crs have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore.
