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
nstrious in the service OF the country. Every por-
ton Of the work will receive the most careful aten-
ton, and nothing will be spared to render il worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men OF the Re-
public.
Mr. Brady has been many years engaged at great
expense, collecting Ports arts 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 courtcsy and
encouragement from distinguished men Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes ia the
highest sense the works OF art, glowing with the soul
of the living countenance.
The drawings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste 10 be fully
equal and in respects superior to those Of the
best artists Of London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery win be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision The typography will be exc
cued carefully and in as superb STYLE as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % riches, made
expressly Tor this purpose l 'nr't
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
viii therefore be comprehensive in its spirit The
names OF those men only admitted whose talents
and public services have yan far 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, viii respond to our ap-
peal for encouragcme and aid in so commendabe an
undertaking, that It's publication may make era in
he progress OF American Art, and by grouping the
illnstrions OF the Union together consolidate it
still more firmly lo fFff. tJEf0
As no work Of this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place
beyond the reach Of OF citizens the publish
have resolved to merit large circulation by
charging very low price. They have, therefore.
