ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
IL The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by resolution OF
that body, f" to invite plans accompanied by esti-
mates for the extension of the Capitol and to al
low q 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 as to preserve the general
symmetry of the entire structure, when complete
Although but one plan can be adopted, the COM
mttee reserve to themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption of parts Of different plans
submitted, should such 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 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

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
TTNDER this title will be published during the
~ year 1850, twenty-four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches OF American citizens who have become
ilusrious in the service Of the country Every por-
ton OF the work will receive the most careful aten
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 tor 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 men Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His dagucrreotypes are in the
highest sense the works ct 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 inn
mediate supervision The typography will he exc
cuted carefully and in superb style the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, i6 by % riches, 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 only 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
and Literature universal in their spirit and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring
unent 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 glorious Union, will respond to ap-
peal for encouragement and aid in so commendablc an
undertaking, that its publication may make an in
he progress OF American Art, and by grouping the
lnstrous men 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 very low price. They have, therefore,
established the following

OWING 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 bstween the hasy, dsointed and necessarily
imperfect records of the newspapers, and the eabo-
and ponderous reatiscs to be furnished by the his
toran at a future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals., and the very low price at which
they are offered to subscribers. Tbs following is
their last, viz
