The Declaration Of Indepcnl
dence.

We have no authentic copy Of thisI
most Important State Paper, the very pa
SIS that supports the proud column of A.
american Liberty none, at least, on whlcli
the eye oftaste can rest. for a mement'
VITA satisfaction. Why hare are not !
The English nation, still proud OF
their Magma Chartar, though every pro-
vision 1t contains has been trampied upon
by the bold ambition of their ralers' pave
published edition after edition OF TINS in-
strument, each more splendid thah l's
Predecessor. Sir William biackstone
has collated and commented on This
Ane cow Of Magma Chartar has been eS-
called by latter specimens OF art, aad the
fac-s;m;Ies of the scales and signature
Nave made every reader Of taste in Great
Britain acquainted, in some degree, no.
merely with the state of knowledge anu
Of art at the period in question, but with
the literary attainnients, also, OF King
John, King Henry, and their " barons
bold"
Surely the Declaration Of American
Independence is, at least, as well entl-
tied to tire decorations of art as the Mag
Ma Chartar of England and if the fac-sl-
miles ofthe signatures ofthe patriots who
signed it were published in America, It
would serve to crafty curiosity, at least
as laudable as that which calls tor imita
tions of the correspondents of Junius, Or
of the aristocraoy that wrested the En-
glish Charter from the reluctant monarch
Of the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more
the principles of our Declaration OF lnde-
pendence are spread out before the eyes
OF the world, the more they will be adj
mired, BY foreign nations as well as our
own: and every innocent and honest de-
vice that may serve to attract attention
toward them, will serve, also, to promote
the great cause of public liberty. Sucl
an embellished edition as will render II
an ornament to an apartment, will have
tendency to spread the knowledge Of
It's contents, among these wko weuld
otherwise have turned their thoughts bua
lightly towards the subject. Such an e
dition will serve to place it continually
under the eye of man. woman, and child
in family, it will associate the pleasure
bic ideas OF elegance ornament witt
the history of the transaction itself. and
familiarize those principles whick form,
or ought to form, the very bond and ce
nent Of political society. Norris it OIL
small moment that such an edition, wei
executed, will serve as specimen OF thel
state of the fine arts amongst US at the pre-
sent day. Actuated by these views, thel
Subscriber proposes to publish
a Splendid Edition Of the Dsesaratienl
of Independence,
Which shall be, in all respects Anne
rican. Ali the necessary materials shall
be manufactured IN this country, and ex-
pressly for this publication. The Designs,
the Engravings shallbe the work of Anne
merican Artists the publication through |
out shall afford evidence of what our CT
tizens have done in politics aud Can dol
IN art.
