EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
i INDEX this title will be published, during the
~ year 1850, twenty Hour Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches OF American citizens w no have become
ustrious in the service of the country Every por-
hon OF the work will receive the most careful atten-
uon, 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 are 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's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes are in the
highest sonse the works OF art, glowing with the soul
OF the living countenance.
The avings and eDgravings 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 i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision The Typography will be exc
cuted as carefully and in superb styleas the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will b.. on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by 20 ,.ches made
expressly for this purpose,
This work has nothing sectional in its scope it
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names OF those men only admitted whose talents
and public services have won for them an honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each of the great de-
partmcnts of life Will have its representatives Art
and Literature univ crsa 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 Mon, viii respond to our APP
peal for encouragement and aid in so commendable an
undertaking, that Its publication may make era in
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
instrous men of the Union together consolidate n
still more firmly. LlI
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 our citizens, the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
