a unusual sensIbIhty has been excited
"A IN The minds OF our cGuntrymen by the
copper plate engraving of the Declaration
OF independence recently published, ao.
cGmpanied by fac Smiles of the signatures
OF these lilustrious 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 prese nee Of
characters so exalted, and we seem for A
time to participate in all the emotion which
they teit on the approach of 50 awful cri-
sis-Hostlle armies. desolate fields, towns

by the Intervention Of the tomb, to become
more intimately acquainted with their re-

on the features of such men, sEatched By
the pencil from the oblivion of the grave.

subscriber proposes, if suitable encourage
ment is given, to publish the lives OF those
patriots in numbers, until The whole is CONF

style not inferior to any European prcslue-
! tons, and the portraits by masters of ac-
| Enowledged merit The biography will
be written by Paul Allen, esq. whose inti-
macy with the several signers, whose fami-
liarity with the privations and hardships
they had TO undergo, and whose well known

execution of this work, all that the pub

of that confidence. He ventures to solicit
