INIE have noauthentic copy Of this most
wv important statep paper, the very basis
that supports tue proud column OF American
liberty ; none, atleast, on which the eye OF
taste can rest, for moment, with satistac-
ton, Why have we not ?
The English nation, still proud OF their
MAGMA CHARTA, though every provI-
sion it contains has been trampied upon by
the bold ambition OF their rulers, have pub
lisbed edition after edition of this instrument,
each more splendid than its predecessor.
Sir William Blackstone has collated and
commented on this fine copy OF Magma
Charta has been excelled by later specimens
of art. and the fac-similes OF the seals and
signatures have 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 lnde-
pendence is, at least, as we'll entitled to the
decorations of art as the Magma Charta OF
England and ii the fac SMILES of the sig
natures of the patriots who signed it were
published in America, it would serve to graz
tify curiosity, at least as audable as that
which calls for limitations Of the correspon-
dents of Junius OF of the arjs'ocracy that
wrested the English Charter from the reluc-
tant monarchs OF the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more
the principles of our Declaration of Indepen
dence are spread out before the eyes Of the
world, the more they will be admired, by
foreign nations as we'll as our own and eve
ry innocent and honest device that may serve
to attract attention toward them, will serve,
also, to promote the great cause Of public H.
berry. Such an embellished edition as will
renderit an ornament to an apartment, will
have a tendency to spread the knowledge OF
its contents, among those who would other
wise have turned their thoughts but lightly
towards the subject Such an edition will
serve TO place it continually under the eye
of man, woman, and child in a tamily--t
viii associate the pleasurabe ideas Of ele-
gance and ornament with the history OF the
transaction itsei--and familiarize those
principles which form, or ought to form, the
very bond and eement of political society,"

ton, well executed, will serve as specimen
of the state of the Fine Arts amongst US at
the present day. Actuated by these views,
