FINDER this title will be published, during the
u year 1850, twenty-fo Portraits and Biographi-

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 it worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men OF the Re-
public.
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense IN collecting Portraits Tor National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior TO any that have
been taken. In the accomplishment. 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
recomme ndaion. His daguercotypes in the
highest the works OF art glowing with the soul
Of the living countenance.
The ORA wings 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 inn

mediate supervision. The Typography will he exc

friend of our glorious MON, will respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commcndable
undertaking, that lis publication may make an era IN

illnsrious of the Union together, consolidate il
still more firmly.
As 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
have resolved to merit large circulation, by
