In the next No. (for November) will be commenced a series of European Portraits of the leading rulers and political characters of Christendom, with ample sketches of their lives and characters, which shall be thorough exhibitions, not only of the men themselves, but of the political events of their times, and especially of the aspects and condition of the nations of Europe at the present day. The first portrait and sketch will be those of the new Pope, whose late actions are making Italy the centre of European politics, and himself, in some respects, the chief personage of Christendom. This series of portraits is designed to alternate with those of American public men. They will be executed in etching—except that of the Pope, which, from the great beauty of the original, will be done in the complete style, like the head of Clay.
N. B.—Agents and dealers in periodicals, wishing extra copies of that (November) No., containing the head of the Pope, must send in their orders by the 12th of October.
