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 this
work are believed 10 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 MIR. Bradys
reputation has been too long established TO need any
recommendation. His dagueueotypes are in the
highest the works OF art, glowing with the soul
Of the living countenance.
The dra, awnings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans Of taste TO be fully
equal and in respects superior to those of the
best artists OF London and Paris and every inn
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his inn
mediate supervision The Typography will be exc
cuted as carefully and in as 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

peal for encouragement and aid in commendable
undertaking, that It's 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 citizens, the publish
ers have resolved TO merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
established the following
