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

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
u year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and BiogTaphi-
cal Sketches OF American citizens who have become
lusrious in the service Of the country Every por-
ton of the work will receive the 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, collecting Portraits Tor National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
been taken In the accomplishments of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men Mr.. hrady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerreoiypes are in the
highest the works OF art glowing with tie soul
OF the living countenance.
The dra wings and engravings Of D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans of taste to be fully
equal and in 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 be exc
cued as carefully and in as superb style as the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % inches, 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 honorab bic
fame throughout the nation. Each of the great de-
partmcnts of life will have its representatives Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
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, aud
friend of our glorious MON, viii respond to our APP
peal for encouragement and aid ip commendablc an
undertaking, that lis publication may make in
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping tke
llnstrious of the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place Il
beyond the reach OF most o, our citizens the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,

~ 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.
Ii 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
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 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
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.

OWING to the late revolutions and counter-revo-
~ lutons among the nations OF Europe, which have
eowed each cthr- 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 a middle
ground between the hasty disointed, and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers, and the clabo
and ponderous eatses to be furnished by the his
torian at future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem it proper to call renewed attention t.
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they are offered to subscribers. The following is
their list, viz
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW,
AND
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 and RAJ
dical-s Backwood and the &C London Quarterly +"
are Tory the Edinburgh Review" Wing; and
the &c Westminster Review " Liberal The " North
British Review " owes its establishment to the last
great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland and is not
