PLAN.
Every subscriber of FIVE DOLLARS is a memit_:
i :. j
ijci *?* Miv- aii-iMiiwu lur ine ynir, aim la ciimicii tw
all its priv ileges.
The money thus obtained (after paying necessary
expenses, is applied?
First.? To the production of' u large and co*Uy
ORIGINAL ENGRAVING fntiuan American paiut- |
iug, of which the plate and copyright belong to the
Institution, and are used solely tor its benefit. Of
this Engraving every member receives a copy for j
every five dollars paid by hiin. Members entitled
to duplicates are at liberty to select from the en- j
gravingsof previous years. Whenever the funds
jus. ify it, AN EXTRA ENGRAVING OR WORK
OF ART is also furnished to every member. Every
member also receives a full Annual Report of the
proeoedingii, tec., of the Institution.
Second.?7b the purchase of' PAINTINGS and 1
SCULPTURE, STATUETTES in Bronze, and
MEDALS, by native or resident artists. These
paintings and sculptures are publicly exhibited at |
the Gallery of the Art-Union till the annual meet- ,
ing in December, wlteu they are PUBLICLY DiS- !
TR1BUTED BY LOT among the members, each >
member having one share for every live 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 other work of art of great
value.
Third.?The Institution keeps an office and FREE
PICT U RE G A LLER Y, al ways open, wcl 1 attended,
and hung with fine paintings, at 497 Broadway,
where the members in New York receive their engravings,
paintings, tec., and where the business
of the Institution is transacted.
Fourth.?The Bulletin of the Art-Union, which
has now been eulargeil to include, in addition to the
usual Catalogue of Pictures aud List of Subscribers,
particular descriptions ol works purctiased lor distribution,
news of interest in relation to the Fine
Arts, extracts from the correspondence of the Institution,
Wood-cut Illustrations of Paintings belonging'
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 them by
mail. To all others the price will be six cents per
number.
Diatribution of the Engravings, and the Annual ;
Report of the year 1848.?The Engraving of " Queen
Mary signing the Death Warrant of iMdy Jane
Grey," upon steel, und measuring *23 inches by 15j
inches, was finished early in the year, and lias been
in the bauds of the printer ever since its completion.
PriiiU are being taken froui it at the rate of fifty
per day, and the distribution of them will coinineuce
about the first day of May next.
An efTort will be 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 JUustraliomi of Rip
Fan Winkle will be ready for delivery at the same
time with the "Queen Mary."
The "Transactions" will he published and distributed
at the same time with the engravings.
The AWrovtng for the year 1849.?The plate of
" Youth," being tne second picture of Mr. Cole's
celebrated series of the " Voyage qf /Afe," is in progress
under the skilful burin of Mr. James Snulie,
who will undoubtedly make it the best large landscape
engraving ever executed in this country. A
small etching of this picture will accompany the
volume of "Transactions" about to be published.
The Medal for the year 1849.?The subject of this
| medal is the head of Colonel Trumbull, in continu.
ation of the series of distinguished American artists,
. commenced by the representations of Allston and
| Stuart.
Bronze Statuettes.?A committee was appointed
some time since by the General Board to inquire
' into the expediency of prucuringstutuettra in bronze
for distribution at the next annual meeting. Tin
London Art-Union for several years has expended
, most judiciously a portion of its funds in eucour.
aging this branch of Art. There has always been
J a difficulty in this country in obtaining proper
workmen, which is the principal reason why re1
duced copies in bronze have nut already been made
of several exquisite statues, modelled by our own
artuts, <uiu wmcn seemed pn uliarly adapted to
lIixh mix It of treatment. Itiu olwtoclr ban now
been rrnioved, and there are here at present several
persons lately arrived from Europe, who are fully
competent to undertake thin kind of work. Indeed,
the email bunt of an Indian, beautifully modelled
by Btows, has been reproduced in bronze by one
of these artist* in a very aatiafai lory manner. A
resolution haa accordingly been passed, in accordance
with the recommendation of the special comiiulice
of inquiry, that Mr. Bbown la- commissioned
to model a atatuettc in bronze, twenty inches in
height, illustrative of Indian form and charm t? r,
ami that tw enty copies in bronze be cast for distribution
among- die member* of the year 11449.
Etching* in (hilUnt for 0* year IS49.? A set of
i Outline*, similar to the illustration* of Rip Van
Winkle, will undoubtedly be published for the
nteinbcrs of the present year. The *pe< ial committee
upon Engravings have tlie subject under consideration,
but liavr as yet made no report upon it
to the General Hoard. Due nutsc shall be given as
soon as tfiat body pass a decisive resolution in relation
to it.

Sufest and uumI surely profitable Stock in the country
IN eiery respect ociuul to any State or Government
securities, for safety or certain interest,
and far more profitable than any Bank, Railroad,
or Manufacturing- Stocks.
Riuhtcen feu Cenj\ Cash Investment warranted
and guarantied by the Trustees within the
first year, in any event, over and above all ordinary
losses and expenses.
An advance or premium of Tkn per cent, above
par is guarantied within the first year by the Trustees
under an express provision of the By-Laws to
all original subscribers to thestock of this Company
who wish to sell through a permanent investment
of the first one hundred thousand dollars qf accumu
luting profits of the insured members, (which will
surely amount to double that sum within the first
year,) in the Reserved GuarantoeStock : in addition
to the guarantied interest of Eight per cent.,
making a sure and cerluin investment of Eighteen
per cent, the first year, over utui above the subscription
price, warranted and guarantied by the most
fuithfoel sMlail.'tfs..# /MirJ esSOTMI lA/a Hes/trs] i\ 7V*iis.
tees in ttu country, ami under tin- most sufe and permanently
?e<-iirt: plan of business ever adopted by
any other company, either in the United States or
Europe.
No such guarantied interest of Eighteen per cent.
can be. obtained under the charter of any other Life
Insurance Company of the country ; nor can any
Hank, Kailroad, State or Government Stock of the
Union afford mo sure a guarantee both for permanent
safety of the principal, or such surely accumulating
profits and interest, making the Reserved Guarantee
Capital of this new company in every respect
the Batest and most surely profitable investment in
the United States.
Gentlemen in Vermont disposed to secure a limited
amount of this stock during the preeent week,
at par, (before it is ull taken iu Massachusetts and
New York,) can once more have an opportunity to
secure un investment second to no other in the
State or Union, on application to the Hank of
Moutpelier, or the Vermont Hank, in Moutpelier,
before the 26th instant, or by application per
mail to

Committee of Trustees for distributing the Stock.
Ten per cent, to be paid in cash on subscription,
the balance of ninety per cent, within ten days, at
either of the bunks of Vermont, or Moutpelier.
An additional class of insured members will be
adopted by the Trustees, to be conducted upon the
joint-stock principle under which all of the previiuuis
of this new class will revert to the holders of
the Reserved Guarantee Stock, whereby the intrinsic
value and price of the stock will not only be
permanently sustained at ten per cent, above par,
but within nve years it cannot be purchased for
less than twenty to thirty per cent, advance. A
peculiar feature in the safety of this stock over
every other is, that before the holders of the Re
scrvcu uuaruntee r unu can ever ue muue uauie
for contribution or loss in any way, not only all
the cash premiums of five classes of members, but
all the deposite premium and interest notes to three
and six times the cash payments, which can never
amount to less than from three to four hundred thousand
dollars annually, must first be consumed or exhausted
by prior losses?on event impossible to occur
within the scope of any human event wliatever.

The publishers respectfully invite attention to the
following- eminent testimony to the excellence of
this standard dictionary
The execution of tliia Dictionary fully auawera
to ita title. Tlie Vocabulary ia probably more
comprehensive than that of all preceding English
Dictionaries united. Constant reference is made to
AirriJoaiTiaw with respect to words newly introduced,
and care ia taken to note such as are technical,
foreign, obsolete, provincial, or vulgar. The
OKFiNiTiuNs are clear and exact, and those pertaining
to technical and scientific terms are specially
valuable to the general reader. The autlior
has evidently bestowed great labor on pbonunciation.
His system of Notation, which is easily understood,
and founded on a more complete analysis
of the vowel sounds than we have elsewhere met
with, together with his plan of exhibiting all the
best English authorities in relation to words differ
eutly pronounced by different orthoepista, gives to
thin work important advantages us a Pronouncing
Dictionary. In obthogxaphy lie has made no arbitrary
changes, but where image in various and
fluctuating, no baa aimed to be consistent, and to
reduce to lite sauie rules words of similar Ibrination.
The insertion of Grammatical forms and inflections
of words to a much greater extent than
they are given in other English Dictionaries, and
the short critical uutee on the ortliograpby, the pronunciation.
the grammatical form ami construction,
and the peculiar, technical, local, and American
usee of words interspersed through the volume,
give to this work much additional value. The copious
Vocabulary of Modern Geographical names,
with their pronunciation, and a greatly enlarged
and improved editiou uf Walker's Key to Uie pronunciation
of Classical and Scripture proper names,
are important appendages to the Dictionary.
Eighteen month* have passed since this Dictionary
wus published; and its already extensive use, both
among cultivated English readers, and men of wide
learning, affords good testimony of its merits. We
confidently recommend it as containing an ample
and carefVil view of the present state of our language.
