M + nave no authentic copy of this most i'm

Hori
The English nation, still proud of their MAG
MA CHARTA, though every provision it con-
tains has been trampled upon by the bold av,bi.
ton OF their rulers, have published edition after
edition OF this instrument, each more splendid
than its predecessor Sir William Blackstone
has coiiated and commented on this fine CODY
OF Magma Charta has been excelled by late spc.
cmens of art, and the hc-simiiies of the seals
ana signatures have made every reader of taste
III Great Britain acquainted, in some degree, not
merely with the state of knowledge and of art at
the period in question, but with tile literary at
tainments, also, of King John, King Henry, aad
their I" Barons boldn
Surely the declaration Of AxERrcAr Indepen.
dence is, at least, as well entitled TO the decors
tons OF art az the Magma Charta of England
and II the tac-simil;es of the signatures of the
patriots who signed it were published in Amer.
ca, II would serve to crafty Cariosity, at least
as laudable that which calls for the Initiate
OF. Junius, or of the arstocracy that wrested the
English Charter from the reluctant monsrchs Of
the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more the
principles of our Declaration of Independence
are spread out before the eyes of the world the
more they will be admired by foreign nations as
wen as our own; and every Innocent and honest
device that may serve to attract attention toward
them. will serve, Also to promote the great cause
| OF public Liberty. Such an embelished edition
| as wall render it an ornament to an apartment
Will have tendency to spread the knowledge oil
its contents, among those who would otherwise
| have turned their thoughts but lightly towards
the SUBJECT. Such an edition will serve to place
continually under the eye of man, woman, and
child in family--it will associate the pleasure
BILE ideas of elegance and ornament with the
history OF the transaction tself-and faniiliarze
shose principles which form, or ought to form
the very bond and cement oc political society
Nor is it of small moment that such an edition
well executed, will serve q specimen Of the

| sent day. Actuated by these views, the subscri.
