MIR. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, n collecting Portraits TOR National Gal
ery, 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
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 countenanee.
The drawings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans Of taste 60 be fully

cravings themselves. The entire work viii be on
the finest imperial folio paper 16 by 90 ,ches made

friend of glorious Union, will respond TO our APP
peal for encouragement and aid in coinmendablc an
undertaking, that its publication may make era in
he progress of American Art, and by grouping the
llnstrous of the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
As no work Of this kind has appeared in Amer1ca,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place IL
