A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.
THE GALLERY OF ILLUSTRIOUS
--'"". - AMERICANS. 'fth"~E
Daguerreotypes by Brady---Engraved by
.. . l..07 D'Avignon. ra, Is...5s.- 49,.


EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
u year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches OF American citizens who have become
ustrious in the service OF the country Every por-
ton 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 for National Cal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are 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
reputation has been 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 drawings and engravings OF D'Avignon 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 carefully and in superb style the en-
cravings themselves The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % inches, made
expressly for this purpose, ., -t. . s.. . . .
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit The
names Of those only admitted whose talents
and public services have won for them IN honorable
fame through 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, viii respond to ap-
peal for encouragement and aid in so commendable
undertaking, that its publication may make an in
he progress OF American Art, and by grouping the
lnstrous OF the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly, t,E w. ~ ta.,|t -
AS no work Of this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach of most OF our citizens the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
established the following 4@.

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
III The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by resolution of
that body, " to invite plans accompanied by estl-
mates for the extension of the Capitol, and to al
low a premium OF five hundred dollars for the
plan which may be adopted by the Committees on
Public Buildings of the two Houses of Congress" |"
accordingly invite such plans and estimates, to be
delivered to the Secretary of the Senate on or be-
fore the first day Of December next.
1t is required that these plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension of the Capitol,
either by additional wings, to be placed on the
north and south Of the present building, by the
erection of separate and distinct building, within
the enclosure to the east of the building.
The committee do not desire to prescribe any
condition, that may restrain the free exercise of
architectural taste and judgment, but they would
PREFER that whatever plan may be proposed may
have such reference to and correspondence with
the present building as to preserve the general
symmetry of the entire structure, when complete.
Although but one plan can be adopted, the COM
mittee reserve themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption of parts Of different plans
submitted should such course be found necessary; in
which event, the committee also reserve to them
selves the right to divide or apporton, according
10 their own Judgment, the amount of premium to
be awarded for the whole, to those whose plans
may in part be adopted, according to the relative
Importance and merit Of each part adopted.

BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS.
nno.aiun,s To Mo wv Snhscrihers

HWINC; to the late revolutions and counter-revo-
~ lutions among the nations OF Europe, which have
followed each other in quick succession, and OF which
the end is not yet," the leading periodicals OF Great
Britain have become invested with degree of inter
est hitherto unknown. They occupy middle
ground between the hasiy, disjointed and necessarily
imperfect records of the newspapers, and the eabo-
rate and ponderous teases to be furnished by the his
torian at future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem it proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, md the very low price at which
they are offered to subscribers. The following is
their list, viz
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW,
..... AND
BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals are contained the views mode
rately, though clearly and firmly expressed OF the
three great parties in England-Tory, Wing and Ra-
dical-st Blackwood % and the London Quarterly p
are Tory the &C Edinburgh Review" Wing and
the &C Westminster Review % Liberal. The &C North
British Review owes its establishment to the last
great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland and is not
ultra in its views any one OF the grand depart
ments of human knowledge; it was originally edited
by DR.. Chalmers, and now, since his DEATH is con-
Quoted by his son-in-law, Dr. Hanna associated with
Sir David Brewster It's literary character is OF the
very highest order. The &C Westminster" though
reprinted under that title only, Is published in Eng
land under the title of the Foreign Quarterly and
Westminster y it being in fact union OF the two
Reviews formerly published and reprinted under sepa-
rate titles 1t has therefore the advantage by this
combination of uniting in work the best features
Of both as heretofore issued. ..I... ' ....-
