To the Public.

A y unusual sensibility has been excited
"A in the minds OF our countrymen by the
copper plate engraving of the Declaration
of Independence recently published, ac-
companied by fac SMILES of the signatures
of those Ilustrious patriots who framed the
document by which our independence was
announced to the world. We feel, while
we dwell on those signatures, as if we were
ushered into the immediate presence OF
characters so exalted, and we seem for a
time to participate in all the emotion which
they felt on the approach of so awful a cri-
sis-Hostile armies, desolate fields, towns
and cities in nllagration-carnage and
death in its most frightiul forms appeared in
prophetic vision on the one hand, and more
thar all, the complicated horrors, ignominy
and slavery were presented for their &C
ceptance on the other; they delibersted,
they paused they trembled, ard at last So
lemnly appealing 10 the God of battles,
they resolved that the United States were
andtought to be free, sovereign and inde-
pendent. These illustrious patriots, with
five solitary exceptions, have now mingled
with the common mould-they survive only
in their country's glory and in the recollec-
lion OF grateful people. But il would be
consoling to the present generation, sepa-
rated as they now are from those patriots,
by the Intervention of the tomb, TO become
more intimately acquainted with their re-
evolutionary benefactors. We love TO dwell
on the features of such men, snatched by
the pencil from the oblivion of The grave,
and emulate the. prominent feais of their
biography. Impressed with these ideas, the
subscriber proposes, if suitable encourage
ment is given, 10 publish the lives of those
patriots in numbers, until the whole is COM
pIe:ed. The work will be executed in
style not inferior to any European produc-
tions, and the portraits by masters OF ac-
knowledged merit. The biography will
be written by Paul Allen, esq. whose init
macy with the several signers, whose fami-
liarily with the privaiions and hardships
they had to undergo, and whose-well known
talents will be sufficient TO ensure the pa
tronage OF an enlightened people. In the
execution Of this work, all that the pub
Usher dares 10 promise is, that be will en-
deavor to deserve The confidence Of his
countrymen, and that no exeriion on his
part will be wanting to prevent an abuse
of that confidence. lie ventures to solicit
the assistance Of those gentlemen in pos
session ol authentic facts and anecdotes, by
communicating the intelligence that will
serve to illustrate the characters and 10 en-
rich the biography Of those founders OF the
American Republic.-Those who are in
possession of their portraits would enlarge
the obligation by loan of the same.
A prospectus with the terms will be given
in few days.
