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

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published during the
- year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi
cal Sketches Of American citizens who have become
ustrious in the service OF the country. Every por
on 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, IN collecting Portraits tor National Gal
lery, and those which are being engraved Tor 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 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
cuted carefully and in superb style the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % ,chcs made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope; il
win therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names of those men only are admitted whose talents
and public services have won for 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
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 our glorious Union, will respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commendable
undertaking, that its publication may make in
he progress OF American Art, and by grouping the
instrious men OF the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
As no work of this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place
beyond the reach of most of citizens the publish
have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price They have, therefore,
established the following

II Is designed to make 1t equal to any Weekly
sheet IN the Union for its general interest In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern-its conductors
are Virsinians, and they hope to merit and re-
celve the encouragement of their fellow-citizens.
Ihey 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 defence of them
selves and all they hold dear;-that it has been
warm unremittlng, and as far 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
which have been nstilled into them from their
birth, can be eradicated, at period of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least
know 1t to be impossible

Premiums To New Subscribers.

OWING to the late revolutions and counter-rcvo-
~ luions among the nations of Europe, which have
followed each other in quick succession and of which
the end is not yeti" the leading periodicals ofGreat
Britain have become invested with degree of inter
est hitherto unknown. They occupy middle
ground between the hasy dsjontcd, and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers, and the eabo-
rate and ponderous -catses to be furnished by the his
torian at future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem il proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they offered to subscribers. The following is
their list, viz
