A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.
THE GALLERY OF INDUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS.
Daguereotypes by Brady---Engraved by
D'Avignon.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
Under this title will be published, during TIN
- year 1850, twenty-four Portraits and Biographi
cal Sketches OF American citizens Who have becom
llustrous in the service Of the country Every por
ton Of the work will receive the moot careful atten
ton, and nothing VIII be spared TO render it worth,
mad enduring monument to the great men OF the Be
public.
Mr. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, in collecting Portraits for National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for 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 Wep. Mr.. Hrady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes are In the
highest the works OF art, glowing with the soul
OF the Living countenance. ...... .
The drawings and epgravings Of p'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste TO be fully
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
cravings themselves. ffhe entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, rs by % nches, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names of those men only are admitted whose talents
and public services have won for them 80 honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each of the great de-
parimeats Of life will have its representatives Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
ument to the great men of the Republic, whose
and fame constitute the chief glory Of
the nation. We hope that every lover Of Art, and
friend of glorious UHon, win respond to our APP
peal for encouragement and aid in comnlenaabe ~
undertaking, that its publication may make in
he progress OF American Art, and by grouping tie
ill'srious Of the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly. ,..s ....,.. +:
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 citizens, the publish
ers have resolved 10 merit large ejaculation, by
charging very low price. They haye, therefore,
established the following

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
| r. The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by resolution of
that body, I" to invite plans accompanied by esti-
mates for the extension of the Capitol, and to al
low 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, or 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 to preserve the general
symmetry of the entire structure, when complete.
Although but one plan be adopted, the COM
mittee to themselves the ght 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 apportion, according
to their own judgment, the amount of premium 10
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
