THE
Declaration Of independence.

SN7E have no authentic copy OF this most
w important state paper, the very oasis
that supports the proud column OF American
liberty none, al least, on which the eye OF
taste can rest, Tor moment, with Satlsiac-
ton. Why have we not
The English nation, still proud OF their
MAGMA CHARTA, though every Prov
sionit contains has been tramped upon by
the bold ambition oftheiT rulers, have pub
lshed edition after edition of this instrument,
each more splendid than It's predecesSor.-
Sir William Blackstone has Collaed and
commented on this hne copy OF Magma
Charta has been eXceiled by later specimens
of art, and the fac-similes OF the seals and
slgnatu' eshave made every reader OF taste
in Great Britain acquainted, in some de-
gree, not merely with the state acknowledge
and of art at the period in question, but with
the literary attainments, also, of King John,
King Henry, and their :" Barons bold. -
Surely the Declaration of American indie
pendence is, at least, as well entitled to the
decorations Of art as the Magma Charta OF
England and il the fac SMILES of the sig
natures of the patriots who signed it were
published in America, it would serve to gra-
ity curiosity, at least as laudable as that
which calls or limitations OF the correspon-
dents of .Junius or OF the aristOcracy that
wrested the English Charter from the reluc-
ant monarChs OF the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more
the principles OF our Declaration OF indePen-
fence are spread out before the eyes O! the
world, the more they will be admired, by
oreign nations as well as our own and eve
~ innocent and honest device that may serve
o attract attention toward them, will serve.
tlso, to promote the great cause of public H.
,erty. Such an embeliished edition as will
rendeTii an ornament to al apartment, will
have a tendency to spread the kn ,wledge of
is contents, among those who would other
wise have turned their thoughts but lightly
towards the subject Such an edition will
serve 10 place it continually under the eye
II man, woman, and child in famiiy-it
will associate the pieasurable ideas of ele-
rance and ornament with the history Of the
transaction itself--and lamiliarize those
principles which form, or onght to form, the
very bond and cement of political society,"
Nor is it of small moment that such an edi-
Ttion, well executed, will serve as specimen
of the state of the Fine Arts amongst us at
he present day. Actuated by these views,
