A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.
THE GALLERY OF LLUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS.
Daguerreotypes by Engraved by
DAvignon.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
~ year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi
cal Sketches of American citizens who have become
lustrious 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 il worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men OF the Re-
public,
Mr. Brady has been many years engaged, ct great
expense, collecting Portraits tor National Gal
lery, and those which are being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
teon taken In the accomplishment Of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men MIR. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommend ation. His daguerreotypes in the
highest sense the works ct art, glowing with the soul
Of the living countenance.
The drawings and cngravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronou need by Europeans of taste TO be fully
equal and in 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 as carefully and in superb style the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, Is by % inches, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope ii
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names of those only are admitted whose talents
and public services have won for them an honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each of the great de-
partments Of life will have its representatives. Art
nd 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 will respond to ap-
peal for encouragement and aid in conmendable
undertaking, that ia publication may make in
he progress OF American Art, and by grouping the
illustrous OF the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
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 to merit large circulation, by
charging a very low price. They have, therefore,
established the following

| II The Committee on Public Buildings of the

that body, g to invite plans accompanied by es-
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,
delivered to the Secretary Of the Senate or be-
fore the first day of December next.
1t is required that these plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension Of the Cepitol,
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
/ he 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

symmetry of the entire structure, when complete.
Although but one plan can be adopted, the COM
mittee reserve to 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 apportion, according
