when he Publisher submitted the pre-
ced;ng notice of his intention to under
take TINS national publication, although it
had long occupied his reflections. ne was
not fully aware OF its importance, for ne
had never suspected what the tact really
Is. that there IS 40 where extant an au-
thentic published copy ofthe most inpor-
tant State Paper in the annals OF the
world.
The Original Declaration of lndepen.
deuce. as deposited 10 the Secretary OF
States office, was happily preserved
when so many valuable papers were con-
sumed by the enemy. Without dwelling
upon slight differences, inaccuracies or
omissions. the first words which present
themselves in. our printed copies, and
even as they are of record on the Journals
of the Old Congress, are as follow:
ga declaration by the Representatives
of the United States OF America IN Con
oress assembled, "--whereas In the origi-
nal the Declaration is thus headed:-
s. The Unanimous Declaration OF the
Thirteen United States OF America"
This is not mere verbal distinction;
It involves difference in principle. Does
It become Americans to be careless on
this subject, or ought Interpolation or al
teration OF any kind to be permitted IN
public document so sacred Ought it not
to be faithfully preserved and transmit
ted to poste,ity word for word, letter for
letter, and point for points The Anne
rican public will unhesitatingls answer
Yes and the publisher stands pledged
to have It so engraved, and to accompa-
ny it with the requisite proofs Of anthem

The size of the Paper will be Sc inches

The Design, which is from the pencil
Of MIR. Bridport, will be executed in mi

the Declaration as corden of honor, sur
mounted by the Arms of the United

The Declaration Of lndepen-
4 dence.

We have no authentic copy OF this
most important State Paper, the, very ba-
ais that supports the proud column Of A.
merican Liberty ;none, at least, on which
The eye of taste can rest, tor a moments
with satisfaction. Why hare zoe not 5
The English nation, still proud OF
their Magma Chartar, though every pro-
vision it Contains has been trampled upon
hy the bold ambition Of; their rulers, have
published edition after edition OF inis ~.
strument, each more splendid rtnan its
predecessor. Sir William biackstone
has collated and commented on h--ils
6ne cow of Magma Chartar has been ex-
ceIIed by latter specimens Of art, and the
fac-similes of the scales and signatures
Nave made every reader of taste in Great
Britain acquainted.in some degree, not
rsrelr with the state Of knowledge and
Of art at the periodin question, but with
The literary attainments, also, Of King
John, King Henry, and their $ Barons
bold.p a 81
Surely the Declaration OF American
Independence is. at least, as we'll emu
fled TO the decorations of art as the Mag
ma Chartar Of England land II the tac-sl-
miles. of the signatures of the patriots who l
signed it were published in America J,
would serve to CRAFTY curiosity, at least
As laudable as that which calls tor imita'
tions ofth correspondents OF Junius, OF
of the aristoeracy that wrested the In
rlisA Charter from the reluctant monarch
of the day. :,
We are firmly persuaded that the more
Che principles of Our Declaration OF lnde
pendence are spread out before the eyes
OF the world, the more they will DC al
mired, by foreign nations as well as our
own: and every innocent and honest ae-
vice that may serve to attract attention
toward them, will serve, also, to promote
the great cause of public liberty. Such
an embellished edition aswili render II
an ornament to an apartment, will have
tendency to spread the knowledge OF
its contents, among those WAC woaid
otherwise have turned their thoughts but
lightly towards the subject. Such an e.
dition will serve to place 1t consinaai,y
under the eve OF man, woman, and child
in family,it viii associate the pleasure :,
BILE ideas Of elegance and ornament with
the history of the transaction itself, and
familiarize those principles which .iorm'
or ought to form, the very bond and ce-
ment of political society. Norris it OF
small moment that such an edition, well
executed, will serve as specimen OF the
state of the fine arts amongstus at the pre-
sent day. Actuated by these views, the
Subscriber proposes to publish
A Splendid Edition Of the Dscsarastsfl
Of Independence,
Which shall be. IN all respects Anne,
rican. All the necessary materials saaii
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 sball afford evidence Of what eur CT
tizens have done IN politics and can do
in art.
