mates for the extension Of the Capitol, and to al
low premium Of FIVE hundred dollars for the

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.

erection Of separate and distinct building, within
the enclosure TO the enst 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 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 apporton, according

cal Sketches OF American citizens who have become
ilustrous 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 il worthy
mad enduring monument to the great of the Re
public
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, N collecting Portraits a 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.. 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 counteDance.
The drawings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans of taste to be fully
equal and 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

names of those only are admitted whose talents
and public services have won for them an honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each of the great de

and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended TO be worthy and enduring

achievements and fame constitute the chief glory Of
the nation We hope that every lover Of Art, and
friend Of our glorious Union, will respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commendable
undertaking, that It's publication may make m
he progress of American Art, and by grouping the
ilustrious 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 it
beyond the reach Of most Of citizens the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore
