Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, collecting Port ants Tor a National Gal

work are believed to be superior to any that have
ever been taken In the accomplishment. of this erea
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and

reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes are in the
highest sense the works OF art, glowing with the soul
Of the living countenance.
The dra wings 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 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 as superb style the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on

This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit The
names OF those men only admitted whose talents
and public services have won for them ar honorab bic
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

still more firmly.
As no work of this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
