Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The National Portrait Gallery of Distinguished Americans, Vol. 3 If the conductors of the National Portrait Gallery, on the completion of the present volume, address their friends and the supporters of the work with more diffidence or less complacency than heretofore, it is not from any consciousness or apprehension of merited rebuke, at the result of their efforts to accomplish all that may have been expected. The delay which has occurred in the execution of the work, may appear unreasonable to such of their subscribers as are unacquainted with the cause: to such however it is only necessary to state, that the destruction of materials, and consequent interruption of the arrangements for publication, by successive fires, where important branches of the manufacture have been in operation, has been sufficient to occasion the disappointments in regard to a timely issue, from which all concerned have suffered. The conductors can, however, most confidently assure the friends of the work, that no exertions have been spared to remedy the damage referred to; and they indulge the hope, that however late in appearing, the fulfilment of their task will yet be received with a sympathetic welcome from those whom they have constantly laboured to please. They have, indeed, from every section of our extended country, received the most gratifying assurances that their enterprise continues to be regarded by an enlightened people with interest and approbation. The progress of the work has now been amply sufficient to demonstrate the public estimate of the value of the plan on which it has been conducted; and appears so generally satisfactory as to do away with the necessity of further explanations.
