cal Sketches Of American citizens who have become
illustrious in the service OF the country Every por
ton OF the work will receive the careful atten

mad enduring monument to the great men Of the Re
public.
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, az collecting Portraits tor a National Gal
lery, and those which are being engraved for this
work 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.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recomme ndation His dagucrreotypes in the
highest the works OF art, glowing with the soul
of the living countenance.
The drawings and engravings OF D'Avgnon 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 be exc
cuted as carefully and in superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % inches, made
expressly Tor this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in ITS scope il

partmens of life will have its representatives. Art

peal for encouragement and aid in commendable
undertaking. that lis publication may make era in
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
nstrious Of the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach OF most OF citizens, the publish

II is designed to make it equal to any Weekly
sheet In the Union for its general interest. In
tone and sentiment, it s Southern--its conductors
are Virginians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement Of their fellow citizens.
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprize, nor are their views and opinions shaped
merely to catch the popular breeze. From edu-
cation, from position, from association, from in
terest. from choice, they are Southern men. Their
defence Of Southern rights is a defence of them
selves and all they hold dear;-that it has been
warm unremitting, and far as their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny. To doubt that it will continue to be
so is to presume that the principles and ideas

men rarely change their views They, at least,
know 1t TO be impossible.
