DECLARATION OF IN
DEPENDENCE.

| ETTE have no authentic copy of this most i'm
w portant State Paper, the very basis that
supports the proud column of American Liberty /;
none, at least, which the eye of taste can rest,
for moment, with satisfaction. Wnr HAVE WE
NOT
The English nation, still proud of their MAG
MA CHARTA, though every provision it con-
tains has been tranpled upon by the bold ambi-
ton OF their rulers, have published edition after
edition of this instrument, each more splendid
than its predecessor. Sir William Blackstone
has coliated and commented on this fine copy
of Magma Charta has been excelled by late spe-
cimens of art, and the fac-sinilies Of the seals
and signatures have made every reader of taste
in Great Britain acquainted, in some degree, not
merely with the state of Knowledge and of art at
the period in question, but with The literary at
| tainments, also. of King John, King Henry, aad
their 4" Barons bold"
Surely the declaration OF American Indepen-
dence Is, at least, well entitled TO the ,ecora-
tons OF art the Magma Charta of England /:
and if the fsc-simil;es of the signatures of the
patriots who signed it were published in Ameri-
ca, 1T would serve to crafty curiosity at least
as audable as that which calls for the limitations
OF Junius, of the aristscracy that wrested the
English Charter from the reluctant monarchs of
She day. t
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 viii be admired by foreign nations as
wei as our own: and every innocent and honest
device that may serve to attract attention toward
inen, will serve, also, to promote the great cause
oi public Liberty. Such an embeliShed edition
As will render it an ornament TO IN apartment,
wlli have tendency TO spread the knowledge of
its contents, among those who would otherwise
have turned their thoughts but lightly towards
the sublect. Such an edition will serve to place
il 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 itsef-and famiiiarze
! tlose principles which form, or ought to form
the very bond and cement of political society.
Norris it of small moment that such an edition
we'll executed, will serve as a specimen of the
state of the FINE AIRS, amongst us at the pre-
sent day. Actuated by these views, the subscri-
Der proposes 60 publish
