ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
~ The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by resolution OF
that body, " 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 be adopted, the COM
mttee reserve to themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption of parts Of different plans
submitted, should stleh be found accessory in
which event, the committee also reserve to them
selves the right to divide npportion, 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 -
Dagueueotypes by Brady--Engraved by
D'Avignon.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN
TJNDER this title will be published, during til,
~ year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biography
cal Sketches oil American citizens who have become
llustrious in the service OF the country Every por
hon 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. sr ..lI.
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, IN collecting Portraits tor National Gal
lery, 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. MIR. Brady's
reputation has been too long established TO need any
recommendation. His daguerrcotypes in the
highest sense the works OF art, glowing with the soul
of the living countenaDce.
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 inn
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 hs on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % inches, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
viii therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names of those only admitted, whose talent.
and public services have won for them 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 BIO worthy and enduring mon
umcnt to the great men OF the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory oil
the nation. We hope that every lover OF Art, and
friend OF glorious Mon, will respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commcndablc an
undertaking, that its publication may make in
he progress Of American Art and by grouping the
ustrous 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.
