The committee do not desire to prescribe any

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 can be adopted, the COM
mittee reserve to themselves the right to form such
plan by The adoption Of parts of different plans

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
ustrious in the service OF the country Every por-
hon oil the work will receive the most careful atten-
ton, and nothing will be spared to render it worthy

public. .ea4Nt .- llg-f
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. Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recomme ndaion His daguerreotypes are in the
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
of the living countenance. 81
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 i'm
mediate supervision. The Typography will he exc
cuted as carefully and in superb style the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, 10 by rs nehos, 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 admitted, whose talents
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 Ia intended TO be worthy and enduring mon

achievements and fame constitute the chief glory of
the nation. We hope that every lover of Art, and
friend OF glorious Mon, will respond to our APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commendable an
undertaking, that its publication may make era in
