Plan and Tcrn,s Of Subscription

Whenshe Pubiisher submitted TIE 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
IS. that there IS 40 where extant an au,
thentic published copy ofthe most impor-
tant State Paper in the annals OF the
world.
The Original Declaration Of Indepen-
tence. as deposited IN 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:
"a Declaration by the Representatives
of the United States OF America IN Con-
gress assembled, ''---uheress In the orgi-
nal the Declaration is thus headed -
: The Unanimous Declaration OF the
ThiFteen United States OF America
This is not mere verbal distinction;
il involves a difference in principle. Does
It become Americans to be careless on
this subject, or ought Interpolation or al
terat,on OF any kind to be permitted in a
public document SO sacred Ought it pot
to be faithfully preserved aud transmit
ted to posterity word for word, letter for
letter, aud point for point ? The Ame-
rican public will unhesitatingly answer
Yes and the publisher stands pledged
to have 1t SO engraved, and to accompa-
ny it with the requisite proofs OF anthem
ITCHY.
The size OF the Paperwill be So inches
by "a. 1t win be manufactured by Mr..
Amies, in his best manner aud of the very
best materials.
The Design, which is from the pencil
of Mr.. Bridport, will be executed in imi-
tation of Bas Relief; and will encircle
the Declaration as gordon OF honor, sur
mouated by the Arms of the United
States. Immediately underneath the
arms will be large medallion portrait OF
General George Washington, supported
by cornucopiae, and embellished with
Spears, Flags, and other Military trophies
aud einblems. On enc side of this me-
dallion portrait, will be similar portrait
OF John Hancock, President Of Congress,

The Declaration Of Endepen-
dence.

We have no authentic copy of this
most important State Paper, the very ba-
sis that supports the proud column of A.
merican Liberty none, at least, on which
the eve of taste can rest, for moment,
with satisfaction. Wig hare zoe not Z
The English nation, still proud OF
their Magma Chartar, though every pro-
vision Z contains has been tramp!ed upon
by the bold ambition Of their rulers, nave
Published edition after edition Of. tins M IA
strument, each more splendid than It's
Predecessors. Sir William Blackstone
has collated and commented on it--als
fine copy of Magma Chartar has been ex.
celled by latter specimens OF art, and the
fac-siniles Of the scales aud signatures
haze 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 attainments. also, OF King
John, King Henry, and their 6 Barons
bold.1
Surely the Declarations OF American
Independence Is, at least, as well entl-
tied to the decorations ef art as the Mag
na Chartar Of England and # the iac-sl-
miles ofthe signatures ofthe patriots who
signed it were Published in America, il
would serve to crafty acurlosty, at least
as laudabIe as that which calls tor imlta-
tons of the correspondents OF Junius. or
of the aristocracy that wrested the I'm
slish Charter from the reluctant monarch
of the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more
the principles of our Declaration OF indie
pendenoe 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. Suca
an e:nbellished edition as will render II
an ornament to an apartment, wiz have
a tendency to spread the knowledge OF
its contents. among those who wolid
otherwise have turned Them thoughts but
lightly towards the subject. Such an e.
dition will serve to place it continually
under the eye of man, woman, apd cblld
In a family, It will associate the pleasure
Bile ideas Of elegance and ornament with
the history Of the transaction itself, and
famiIiarize 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, we'll
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
4 Splendid Edition Of the Declaration
Of Independence, ..sss
Which shall be, in all respects Anne.

be manufactured IN this country, and ex-
pressiy for this publication. The Designs,
