THE ART-JOURNAL ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE OF THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION OF 1863. EDITED BY S. C. HALL, ESQ., F.S.A., &c. An "Illustrated Catalogue of the International Exhibition of 1862" will be issued with the Art-Journal, in eight Monthly parts of that work— each part consisting of twenty-four illustrated pages containing about one hundred and twenty engravings. No extra charge will be made for the Art-Journal containing such Illustrated Catalogue. Nor will any payment be required for the introduction — with critical and explanatory notices — of any object of Art engraved ; the proprietors of that Work believing it to be their first duty to extend, as widely as possible, the know- ledge to be derived from the Exhibition, the instruction it is certain to afford, and the example and encouragement held out thereby to producers of meritorious works. Manufacturers and the public may rest assured that by unceasing efforts, a judicious and liberal expenditure, and due exercise of the judgment and taste that result from experience, such an Illustrated Work will be produced, by the com- bined efforts of proprietors, editor, artists, and contributors, as cannot fail to be extremely useful, not alone in Great Britain, but throughout the World. It will be a report of progress, a volume of suggestions, a teacher from the lessons of many master-minds, and an enduring reward to those who labour for renown as well as for the ordinary recompense that is expected to accompany desert. "The Art-Journal Illustrated Catalogue of 1851 " Is so well known that it Is needless to associate with this announcement particulars as to details. Of that Work 45,000 copies were sold. Certain improvements will be introduced Into the Catalogue of 1862. In the improvements they project, the proprietors will be largely aided by the abolition of the duty on paper; the whole of the work will be printed on fine paper, and will be among the best examples of the printer's art. In a word, every possible effort will be exerted to place the Illustrated Catalogue of the Exhibition of 1862 among the most remarkable, excellent, and permanently useful productions which that Exhibition will call into existence, as the Illustrated Catalogue of 1851 undoubtedly was, in reference to the Exhibition of that memorable year. Manufacturers and Art- producers, not only in Great Britain and Ireland, but in all countries of the World, are hereby Invited to communicate with the Editor, and to assist him with drawings and photographs of works intended to be exhibited at the International Exhibition in 1862.
