Mr. Brady has been many years engaged at great
expense, collecting Portraits Tor National Gal
lery, 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 MIR. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguereotypcs in the
highest the works OF art glowing with the soul
OF the living counenance.
The ORA wings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans Of taste be fully
equal, and in some respects superior to those of the
best artists OF London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm

still more firmly.
As no work OF this kind has appeared in Amenca,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond tho reach Of most Of our citizens, the publish
have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
established the following
