followed each other in quick succession and Of which
the end Is not ycto the leading periodicals Of Great
Britain have become invested with degree of inter

ground between the hasty, disjointed and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers and the elabo-
rate and ponderous tcatses be furnished by the his
torian at a future day. The American Publishers,
therefore it proper to call renewed attention
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they arc offered to subscribers. The following is
their list, viz
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW,
BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals are contained he views, mode
rately, though clearly and firmly expressed, of the
three great parties in England-Tory, Wing nd Ra-
dicals' Blackwood" and the " London Quarterly y
are Tory the Edinburgh Review" Whig and
the Westminster Review Liberal. The " North
British Review owes its establishment to the last
great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland and is
ultra in its views on any one o. the grand depart
ments OF human knowledge il was originally edited
by Dr. Chalmers, and now, since his death, is
dncted by his son-in-aw DIR. Hanna associated with
Sir David Brewster. Its literary character is of the
very highest order. The Z" Westminster though
reprinted under that title only, is published in Eng
land under the title of the "Foreign Quarterly and
Westminster ~ it being in fact union OF the two
Reviews formerly published and reprinted usder sepa
rate titles. 1t has therefore the advantage by this
combination OF uniting in work the best features
Of both heretofore issued.

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
IL The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by resolution Of
that body, 4" 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 as TO preserve the general
symmetry of the entire structure, when complete
Although but one plan can be adopted the COM
mittee reserve to themseves 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

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

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
u year 1885, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi
cal Sketches of American citizens who have become
illustrous 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.
MIR. Brady has been many years engaged at great
expense, IN collecting Portraits Tor National Gal
ery, and those which are 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 daguerreotypes are in the
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
of the living countenance.
The drawings and engravings of D'Avigpon 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 be exc
cuted carefully and in superb style the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % riches, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
win therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names Of those men only admitted, whose talents
and public services have Won for them honorable
fame throug bout 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 mon
umcnt 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 APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commendable
undertaking, that its publication may make in
he progress of American Art, and by grouping the
ustrious 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 a large circulation, by
charging very low prise. They have, therefore
established the following
