A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.
THE GALLERY OF ILLUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS.
Daguereotypes by Brady---Engraved by
D'Avignon.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
TINDER this title will be published, during the
u year 1850, twenty-four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches OF American citizens who have become
illnsrious 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, collecting Portraits TOR National Gal
lery, and those which are 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.. Bradys
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His dagucrreotypes in the
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
OF the living couptenance
The drawings and engravngs Qf G'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 i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision The Typography will he exc
cucd as carefully and in as superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will b" on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by 2S chcs made
expressly for this purpose
This work has nothing sectional in its scope it
win therefore be comprehensive in its spirit The
names of those men only admitted, whose talents
and public services have won for them honorable
fame through hout the nation. Each OF the great de-
partmcnts OF life Will have ITS representatives. Art
and Literature universal i'll their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
ument to the great Of the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory Of
the nation. We hope that every over OF Art, and
friend oteur glorious Union, viii respond to our APP
peal for encouragement and aid in co,nmendablo an
undertaking, that its publication may make in
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
nst,ious men of the Union together, consolidate il
still more firmly.
As no work OF this kind has appeared in Anerca
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
eyond the reach of most OF our citizens the publish
crs have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price They have, therefore,

BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS.
Premiums to New Subscribers.

nWINCi to the late revolutions and counter-revo
" lutons among the nations OF Europe, which have
followed each Other in quick succession and OF which
the end is not yet" the leading periodicals Of Great
Britain have become invested with degree Of inter
est hitherto unknown. They occupy middle
ground between the hasty, disjonted and necessarily
imperfect records OF the newspapers and the elabo
rate and ponderous Ycatses TO be furnished by the his
torian at a future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they are offered to subscribers The following is
their list, viz
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW,
AND
BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals are contained he views, mode
rately, though clearly and firmly expressed, OF the
three great parties in Engand-Tory, Whig a md Ra-
dical-" Blackwood " and the &C London Quarterly %
are Tory the Edinburgh Review" Wing and
the C Westminster Review :" Liberal. The North
British Review " owes its establishment to the last
great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland, and is not
ultra in its views on any one o. the grand depart
ments of human knowledge it was originally edited
by DR.. Chalmers and now, since his death, is con-
ducted by his son-in-iaw, DR. Hanna associated with
Sir David Brewster Its literary character is of the
very highest order. The &C Westminstel," though
reprinted under that title only, is published in Eng
land under the title of the G Foreign Quarterly aud
