Plan and Terms of Subscription.
When The Publisher submitted the pre-
ceding notice of his intention to under
take this national publication, although it
had long occupied his reflections. he was
not fully aware of its Importance, for he
had never suspected what the fact really
lis, that there is no where extant an au-
Ithentic published copy ofthe most impor-
tant State Paper in the annals OF the
world.
The Original Declaration of Indepen-
ldence, as deposited in the Secretary of
States Office, was happily preserved
when so many valuable papers were col
sumed by the enemy. Without dwelling
apsn 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 follows
ga Declaration by the Representatives
| of the United States of America IN Con-
gress assembled, "-whereas liz the origi-
inal the Declaration is thus headed -
I" The Unanimous Declaration of the
Thirteen United States of America"
This is not mere verbal distinction ;
lit involves difference in principle. Does
lit become Americans to be careless Oh
I this subject, or ought Interpolation or al
Iteraton OF any kind to be permitted in a
public document so sacredf Ought ii not
ito be faithfully preserved and transmit
ted to posterity word for werd, letter for
letter, and point for point? The Ame-
rican public will unhesitatinglv answer
Yes! and the publisher stands pledged

| ny it with the requisite proofs Of authen-

mounted by the Arms of the United

I The English nation, still proud o.
their Magma Chartar, though every pro

iby the bold ambition of their rulers, have
published edition after edition of this in

Predecessor. Sir William Blackstone
has collated and commented on it-hi,

fac SMILES of the scales and signature

Surely the Declaration OF American

tiled to the decorations of art as the Mag

signed it were published in America, il
would serve to crafty a curiosity, at least
las laadable as that which calls tor imlta
ltions of the correspondents of Junius, OF
of the aristocracy that wrested the En-.
elish 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. suci'
an embellished edition as will render il
an ornament to an apartment, will have
IA tendency to spread the knowledge OF
its contents, among those who wouId
otherwise have tn ned their thoughts but
lightly towards the subject. Such an e,
dltiou 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 and ornament with
the history of the transaction itself, ana
familiarize those principles which form.
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 amongst US at the pre-
sent day. Actuated by these views, the
Subscriber proposes to publish
A Splendid Edition Of the Declaration
Of Independence,
Which shall be, in all respects Anne
rican. All the necessary materials shall
be manufactured in this country, and ex-
pressly for this publication. The Designs,
the Engravings shall be the work of Ame-
