Declaration Of independence.

NE,haye 90 authentic copy Of this most
wv important state paper, the very basis
that supports tue proud column Of American
liberty; none, at least, on which the eye OF
taste can rest, for a moment, with satlstac-
ton. Why have we not
The English nation, still proud of their
MAGMA CHAR IA, though every provi-
sion il contains has been trampeay upon by
the bold ambition oltheir rulers, have pub
lshed edition after edition Of thiSinstrument,
each more splendid than its predecessor
Sir William Blackstone has collated and
commented on it-@his fire copy of Magma
Charta has been excelled by later specimens
OF art, and the fac-siniIes of the seals and
signatur t>hare made every reader OF taste
in Great Britain acquainted, in some de-
gree, not merely with the state ofknowiedge
and Of art the period in question, but with
The literary attanments, also, of King John,
King Henry, and their Barons bold"
Surely the Declaration of American lnda.
pendence is, at least, as WELL entitled to the
decorations of art as the Msgna Charta OF
England and if the fac simles of the sig
natures Of the patriots who signed it were
published in America, il would serve to graz
tify curiosity, al least as laudab'e as that
which ca|lsfor limitations of the correspon-
dents of Junius or of the aristocracy that
wrested The English Charter from the reluc-
(an monarchsot the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more
the principles OF our Declaration of lndepen-
dence are spread out before the eyes OF the
world, the more they will be admired, by
foreign nations as well 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 Ii
berry. Such an embellished edition as will
renderit an ornament to an apartment, will
have tendency to spread the kn ,wledge OF
IFS contents, among those who would other
wise have turned their thoughts but lightly
towardsthe subject. Such an edition will
serve 10 place it continually under the eye
Of man, woman, and child in family--it
viii associate the pleasurabie ideas Of e'e-
gance and ornament with the history of the
transaction itselt--and familiarize those
principles which form, or ought to form, the
very bond and cement ofpoliticaI society,"
Nor IS it OF small moment that such ali edf-
ton, well executed, will serve as specimen
of the state OF tae Fine Arts amongst us at
the present day. Actuated by these views,
