expenses, ia applied?
First.? 7b the production of a large and costly
ORIGINAL ENGRAVING froinan American paintiug,
of which the plate and copyright belong to the
Institution, and are used solely for ita bent-fit. Of
this Engraving every member receives a copy for
every five dollars paid by him. Members entitled
to duplicates are at liberty to select froin the engravings
of previous yeara. Whenever the funda

Second.? 7b the purchase of PAINTINGS and
SCULPTURE, STATUETTES in Bronze, and
MEDALS, by native or resident artists. These .
paintings aiuf sculptures are publicly exhibited at (
the Gullery of the Art-Union till the annual meeting
in December, when they are PUBLICLY DISTRIBUTED
BY LOT among the members, each
member having one share for every five dollars paid
by him. Each member is thus certain of receiving
in return the value of the five dollars paid, and may
also receive a painting or dtlier work of art of great
value.
Third.?The Institution keeps an office and FREE
PICTURE GALLERY, always open, well attended,
and hung with tine paintings, at 4ff7 Broadway,
where the members in New York receive their engravings,
paintings, &c., and where the business
of the Institution is transacted.
Fourth.?The Bulletin of the Art-Union, which
has now been enlarged to include, in addition to the
usual Catalogue of Pictures and List of Subscribers,
particular descriptions of works purchased for dis- \
tribution, news of interest in relation to (lie fine
Arts, extracts from the correspondence of the Insti- /
tution, Wowi-cut Illustrations of Painting's belong- *
ing to the Gallery, and generally such matters of
interest connected with the Art-Union as may be
desirable to.subscribers, will be furnished gratuitously
to Honorary Secretaries, and to those members
who, after paying their subscriptions, shall
signify their desire to have it forwarded to thein by t
mail. To all others the price will be six cents per
number.
Die tribution of the Engraving*, and the Annual i
Report of the year 1848.?The Engraving of " Queen
Mary tigning the Death Warrant of I^ady Jane
Grey," upon steel, and measuring '23 inches by 15J
inches, was finished early in the year, and has been
in the hands of the printer ever since its completion.
Prints arc being takeh from it at the rate of fifty
per day, and the distribution of them will commence
about the first day of May next.
An effort will lie made to deliver them as nearly
as possible in the order of the receipt of subscriptions.
Those Honorary Secretaries, therefore, who
transmitted the earliest remittances may expect to
be first supplied. The Outline IUuetrahonn of Rip
Van Winkle will be ready for delivery at the sainc '
time with the "Queen Mary."
The "Transactions" will be published and distributed
at the same time with tne engravings. (
The Engraving for the year 1849.?The plate of
"Youth," being the second picture of Mr. Cole's
celebrated series of the " Voyage <f Life," is in progress
under the skilful burin of Mr. James Smilie,
who will undoubtedly make it the best large landscape
engraving ever executed in this country. A
ninaiI lime ?i Ull? pmuic win mwnijiai.; w.v,
volume of "Transactions" about to be published.
The Medal for the year 1H49.?The subject of this
medal is the head of Colonel Trumbull, in continuation
of the series of distinguished American artists,
commenced by the representations of Allston and '
Stuart.
Bronze Statuette*.?A committee was appointed *
some time since by the General Board to inquire
into the expediency of procuring statuettes in bronxe
for distribution at the next annual meeting. The
London Art-Union for several years has expended
most judiciously a portion of its funds in cncour- t
aging this branch of Art. There has always been
a difficulty in this country in obtaining proper
workmen, which is the principal reason why reduced
copies in bronze have nut already been made
of several exquisite statues, modelled oy our own
artists, and which seemed peculiarly adapted to
this mode of treatment. Tnis obstacle lias now
been removed, and there are here at present several
persons lately arrived from Europe, who are fully
competent to undertake this kind of work. Indeed,
the small bust of an Indian, beautifully modelled
by Brown, has been reproduced in bronze by one
of these artists in a very satisfactory manner. A
resolution has accordingly been passed, in accordance
with the recommendation of the special committee
of inquiry, that Mr. Brown be commissioned
to mode) a statuette in bronze, twenty inches in
height, illustrative of Indian form ann character,
ami that twenty copies in bronze be cast for distribution
among the members of,the year 1H49.
Ktrhing* ?'n Outline for the year IH49.?A set of
Outlines, similar to liie illustrations of Kip Van
Winkle, will undoubtedly be published for the
iiiemliers of the present year. The special committee
upon Engravings have the subject under consiileration,
but have as yet made no report upon it
to the General Board. line notice shall he gi\ en as
soon as that body pass a decisive resolution in relation
to it.
